FSC® certification

Our teak is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council®. Here is what that actually means, and the certificates behind it.

In plain language

What FSC® certification means

FSC® is an independent standard for responsible forestry. An accredited auditor visits the plantation, checks it against the standard, and returns year after year to check again. Certification is not a label you buy once — it lapses the moment the practice does.

  • Forest management

    How the land is managed: which trees are cut, what is left standing, how watercourses and native reserves are protected.

  • People

    How workers are paid, housed and kept safe, and how neighbouring communities are consulted and compensated.

  • Chain of custody

    Certified timber is tracked from stump to shipment, so what arrives is provably what left the plantation.
