Environmental Policy

Southern Timber Environmental Policy:

 

At Southern Timber, we recognise the importance of protecting the environment and mitigating the impact of our business activities on the natural world. As a timber merchant, we understand that our operations can have a significant impact on forests and the ecosystems they support. Therefore, we are committed to minimising our environmental footprint and promoting sustainable forestry practices.

 

Our Environmental Policy is based on the following principles:

 

Compliance: We will comply with all relevant environmental laws, regulations, and standards to ensure that our business activities are conducted in an environmentally responsible manner.

 

Sustainability: We will source our timber from well-managed and sustainable forests, which are certified by recognised forestry certification organisations such as the Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). We will strive to promote the use of sustainable forestry practices among our suppliers and customers. These products are clearly displayed on our website so you can be confident you are purchasing timber from well managed forests with an ethical and responsible supply chain.

 

Waste Reduction: We will minimise waste generation through the efficient use of resources and the implementation of recycling and waste reduction programs.

 

Energy Efficiency: We will strive to reduce our energy consumption and greenhouse gas emissions by implementing energy-efficient practices in our operations, such as using renewable energy sources.

 

Pollution Prevention: We will prevent pollution and minimize the impact of our activities on the environment by implementing pollution prevention measures and using environmentally friendly products.

 

This Environmental Policy is a fundamental part of our business and is supported by our management team and all employees. We are committed to implementing this policy and to continually improving our environmental performance.
