With the care of the environment, we increasingly take care of the origin of the material we use. There is time for the wood that begins to use the certificate.

The certificate aims to ensure that the exploitation of wood is carried out in an adequate and sustainable manner, that is, that the forestry exploitation takes into account, in addition to economic criteria, adequate environmental and social criteria. The forest certification (FSC) was created in 1993 and it is already 1´5 million hectares that have obtained the certificate and its number increases year after year. The idea is that wood buyers and those who use wood as their product assume responsibility and commitment to use certified wood.
