The Company recognises and accepts its moral and legal responsibilities on all environmental issues. It is therefore our policy to conduct our undertakings, so far as is reasonably practicable, in a manner conducive to the environment.

We endeavour to target as follows:

The Company is committed to developing meaningful environmental performance and evaluation procedures. Progress against specific objectives and targets will be reported on a regular basis and at least annually. Awareness and responsibility training will be made available to all employees in environmental matters. Our aspiration is to obtain ISO 14001 certification for all group activities.

Increasingly consumers are seeking evidence of environmentally sound business practises, including reassurance and proof from forest/timber bases industries that the wood used comes from sustainable managed sources. A reliable and credible mechanism to provide this information, Chain of Custody, is provided by both the forest stewardship council (FSC) and the programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) labelling schemes.

As part of Thomas Armstrong (Timber) Limited’s commitment to ensuring we have solid environmental policy we hold FSE Chain of Custody certification for the Production, Processing, sales and distribution of Melamine, Foil and PVC faced Chipboard products together with the Processing, sales and distribution of FSC Certified Ancillary Roof Timbers. We also hold Chain of Custody Certification for the Manufacture, Processing, sales and Distribution of PEFC certified Trussed Rafters and Ancillary Roof Timbers.

Thomas Armstrong (timber) Limited is committed to source wood panel products and timber from legitimate and legal suppliers. It is the Company policy, first and foremost, to source products from suppliers who themselves are members of recognised environmental schemes.

For future requirements, the Company will continue to source product responsibly and promote the environmental benefits of wood as a natural renewable resource.
