Niels Larsen uses timber compliant with the legality and sustainability of The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

Sustainability

Timber is the only sustainable and renewable building material....

UK Timber Regulations (UKTR) state that it is unlawful to place illegally harvested timber and timber products on EU and UK markets. These regulations affect those that first place timber on these markets and also includes all those further down the supply chain.

Using FSC certified suppliers ensures our timber comes from responsibly managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits. The Chain of Custody (CoC) certification is how the FSC verifies that the timber used originates from such forests and can be tracked through every stage of the process.
