Rightfully, responsibly, reliably<br />
Our commitment is to market wood products rightfully,<br />
responsibly, reliably. Rightfully, by respecting experience<br />
and knowledge as much as legal requirements and by<br />
assessing the countries of origin and each single<br />
supplier; responsibly, by respecting the people affected<br />
by our work as much as the forest in which we harvest<br />
the wood for our products, through internationally<br />
recognized standards for good forest management and<br />
human rights (e.g. FSC © or PEFC); reliably, by<br />
providing 3 rd party certification of<br />
our due diligence system and sourcing<br />
performance (LegalSource TM (1) , OLB, VLC, etc.);<br />
all of which contribute to a process of continual<br />
improvement.<br />
(1) NC-LS-000160 , Scope: Wood products procured by Interholco outside<br />
the EU and placed on the EU market.<br />
Responsible sourcing<br />
We ensure traceability of all our products<br />
from the forest through manufacturing and<br />
trade to the final project.<br />
Any wood product we import into the EU or<br />
the USA undergoes our Due Diligence<br />
process, that meets the definition of ‘due<br />
diligence’ under the European Union<br />
Timber Regulation (EUTR), the PEFC<br />
standard, and the definition of ‘due care’<br />
under the United States Lacey Act.<br />
The standards we apply are our<br />
commitment to high-value markets and to<br />
earning the trust in our brand.<br />
The European Union Timber Regulation<br />
Introduced in the European Union in 2013,<br />
the EUTR has set a legality requirement for<br />
international trade of wood products.<br />
Properly implemented and enforced, this<br />
could be a major step towards eliminating<br />
illegal timber from the market place. Through<br />
levelling the playing field in timber trade, the<br />
EUTR can support efforts across forest<br />
products industries towards environmental<br />
safeguards as well as social benefits.<br />
Putting quality wood under the spotlight at key trade shows<br />
We regularly attend leading international business-to-business tradeshows for wood producers, traders, architects,<br />
specifiers and end-users. From Carrefour du Bois (held every two years in Nantes, France) to the Dubai Wood Show (a<br />
yearly rendez-vous in Dubai), our staff give visitors a unique, well-rounded experience of the quality and properties of<br />
our wood products.<br />
