Panel Supplies and the Environment

Panel Supplies recognises that we have a responsibility to the environment, and endeavour to carry out every aspect of our business in ways which are as environmentally friendly as possible.

Our commitment to environmental policy is demonstrated by our FSC® chain of custody (CU-COC-805640, License: FSC-C002339) which is awarded to companies who can demonstrate that their products contain wood from well managed forests. This is an independent certification and International Plywood has held chain of custody since 2003, allowing us to sell FSC® Certified Plywood and Timber Products as a part of our stock range.   FSC® Certificate

In 2006 we were awarded PEFC chain of custody (CU-PEFC-COC-805640, License: PEFC/16-37-755) which enabled us to widen our stock-range of certified products. International Plywood regularly appraise our suppliers to ensure their products and services meet the exacting standards we demand. In many cases we investigate a supplier’s environmental policy before a partnership can begin.   PEFC Certificate
