Avon Timber Merchants Sourcing Policy
Download copies of our FSC and PEFC certificates
Avon Timber merchants Ltd is committed to identifying the source of all wood used as an input to is "Volume Credit Account" or in the manufacture of its FSC labelled products and to taking all reasonable measures to ensure that:
- Timber that has been illegally harvested
- Timber from genetically modified trees
- Timber from areas where traditional or civil rights are violated
- Timber from uncertified high conservation value forests or from endagered forests
- Or Timber from converted sources
shall not be purchased by the company. To this end all suppliers of non-FSC certified timber will be required to fill in a "Timber Source Questionnaire" to accurately identify the forest of origin and using this information we will make available to concerned parties a list of all countries from which we source our uncertified timber.
If it proves impossible to identify the forest of origin of some of our timber sources, we are committed to replacing them with suppliers which can be sourced with confidence. We will make available an annual report describing our system for verifying and monitoring our sources, the proportions of wood which has not yet been verified, and the steps being taken to replace/ re-source this wood of unknown origin
If it is demonstrated that wood from either 1, 2, 3, 4, or 5 above has been supplied to this company either inadvertently or otherwise and may have been used as an input to the "Volume Credit Account" or in the manufacture of the company's FSC product groups, we will take corrective action, including stopping further purchases from any company that has supplied us with wood from such sources
