Why is FSC Certification Important?
When you select products which have been certified using standards established by an independent organization such as FSC (Forest Stewardship Council), you can be assured those products come from responsibly-managed forests.
At Universal Forest Products, we understand the important and complex role which trees and forests play in our everyday lives. This is why some of our facilities have recently met the rigorous standards to earn the FSC Chain of Custody Certification. By earning this certification, we are not only helping to safeguard today’s forests but we also provide you with an opportunity to contribute by purchasing FSC-certified products.
Choosing products made from FSC-certified materials can be used to earn points in the U.S. Green Building Council’s LEED program. Other programs such as NAHB’s Model Green Home Building as well as various state and local green building programs also provide opportunities to earn points.
More importantly, making the decision to select FSC-certified products means you are helping to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of today’s generations as well as tomorrow’s.
