Artisanelm is committed to the responsible use of forest resources, including the wood used in our furniture. We view Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certification as the gold standard and prefer to procure wood that is FSC certified. In instances where we cannot obtain FSC certified wood furniture from our suppliers, we will avoid the following:
- Illegally harvested or traded wood
- Wood harvested in violation of traditional civil rights
- Wood harvested in forests that have been identified as High Conservation Value Forests, including Intact Forest Landscapes (IFLs)
- Wood harvested from areas being converted from forests to plantations or non-forest uses
Through this policy Artisanelm seeks to set a positive example for our peers and do our part in protecting the world’s forests.
