Leading the Way in Sustainable Timber Trade
At Raw Timber, sustainability is at the core of everything we do. We are dedicated to preserving the environment and ensuring that our operations have a positive impact on the planet. Our commitment to sustainability goes beyond compliance with global guidelines; we aim to set new standards in the timber industry.
Adhering to Global Guidelines
We strictly adhere to the EUDR, ensuring that all our timber products are sourced from legal and sustainable operations. This regulation helps combat deforestation and promote sustainable forest management by enforcing stringent traceability and transparency standards. By complying with the EUDR, we guarantee that our products meet the highest environmental and ethical standards.
Offsetting Our Carbon Footprint
We are committed to offsetting our carbon footprint by 250%. This ambitious goal demonstrates our dedication to environmental stewardship and our proactive approach to combating climate change.
Here’s how we achieve this:
-
We source our timber from forests that are managed sustainably, ensuring that logging practices do not harm the environment or deplete resources. This includes partnering with suppliers who are certified by reputable organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
-
For every tree harvested, we plant multiple new trees through our reforestation programs. These initiatives not only replenish the forests but also enhance biodiversity and support local communities.
-
We invest in energy-efficient technologies and practices across our operations to minimise our carbon emissions. This includes optimising our logistics to reduce fuel consumption and using renewable energy sources where possible.
-
In addition to reducing our own emissions, we invest in verified carbon offset projects around the world. These projects include reforestation, afforestation, and renewable energy initiatives that remove or prevent greenhouse gas emissions.
Our Sustainability Goals
We believe in complete transparency in our sustainability efforts. We regularly publish reports on our environmental impact and progress towards our sustainability goals. By holding ourselves accountable, we ensure continuous improvement and inspire trust among our stakeholders.
