Betterwood wood tiles at FSC® – What is special about FSC tropical wood?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) is an international non-profit organization dedicated to certifying wood for its sustainability. All Betterwood wood products are FSC® certified. This means that the tropical wood must meet the ten principles of the FSC® The principles summarize the comprehensive standards for sustainable wood products.

For example, a forestry company must submit a precise management plan in which no more wood is removed from the forest than can grow back in the same period. Compliance can be verified, as illegal interventions in the forest can still be detected many years later.

The population must also benefit from management and the rights of the indigenous population must be guaranteed. At the same time, biodiversity and the ecological benefits of a forest must be preserved and strengthened: this applies to primary forests, but also to plantations.

The FSC® certification system is the most internationally recognized and strictest control for sustainable wood products. The WWF only FSC wood to use. The FSC® regularly and independently checks forestry companies, sawmills and traders – i.e. every part of the trade chain – for compliance with its standards.

In addition, we at Betterwood are in direct contact with our suppliers and foresters on site in Latin America and can see for ourselves the working conditions, the rainforest and the plantations.
