Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) Toolbox

Tool Details

What wood you choose?

All the timber and wood products we buy - from furniture to flooring to paper - started life in a forest somewhere. Trees were cut down, processed and sold to you as a door, a kitchen worktop or maybe a book. But not all wood comes from well-managed forests. So how can you be sure you're choosing the right wood -- wood that's sustainably produced without causing harm to people or wildlife? Watch this short film to find out how forest certification works.
