Rightfully, responsibly, reliably Our commitment is to market wood products rightfully, responsibly, reliably. Rightfully, by respecting experience and knowledge as much as legal requirements and by assessing the countries of origin and each single supplier; responsibly, by respecting the people affected by our work as much as the forest in which we harvest the wood for our products, through internationally recognized standards for good forest management and human rights (e.g. FSC © or PEFC); reliably, by providing 3 rd party certification of our due diligence system and sourcing performance (LegalSource TM (1) , OLB, VLC, etc.); all of which contribute to a process of continual improvement. (1) NC-LS-000160 , Scope: Wood products procured by Interholco outside the EU and placed on the EU market. Responsible sourcing We ensure traceability of all our products from the forest through manufacturing and trade to the final project. Any wood product we import into the EU or the USA undergoes our Due Diligence process, that meets the definition of ‘due diligence’ under the European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR), the PEFC standard, and the definition of ‘due care’ under the United States Lacey Act. The standards we apply are our commitment to high-value markets and to earning the trust in our brand. The European Union Timber Regulation Introduced in the European Union in 2013, the EUTR has set a legality requirement for international trade of wood products. Properly implemented and enforced, this could be a major step towards eliminating illegal timber from the market place. Through levelling the playing field in timber trade, the EUTR can support efforts across forest products industries towards environmental safeguards as well as social benefits. Putting quality wood under the spotlight at key trade shows We regularly attend leading international business-to-business tradeshows for wood producers, traders, architects, specifiers and end-users. From Carrefour du Bois (held every two years in Nantes, France) to the Dubai Wood Show (a yearly rendez-vous in Dubai), our staff give visitors a unique, well-rounded experience of the quality and properties of our wood products. 66 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT <strong>2017</strong> INTERHOLCO
Sustainable product portfolio In 2016, we procured 87% of FSC ® certified wood (FSC ® C022952) for environmentally conscious markets. In order to satisfy the demands of our building industry customers, we occasionally procure wood from external sources, other than IFO. Taking into consideration the need to check the country of harvest, the supplier, species and also the forest management unit, we obtain the necessary information and documentation in order to satisfy ourselves to a high level of confidence that the products are compliant not only with the national laws and regulations of the country of harvest, but also with international regulations (EUTR, Lacey Act). 67 SUSTAINABILITY REPORT <strong>2017</strong> INTERHOLCO
