Responsibly Sourced Timber
Timber and Sheets are a core product category for builder’s merchants and at IBT, we consider environmental and sustainability
issues as part of our purchasing policy.
With our partnerships and certifications with FSC ® (Forest Stewardship Council ®) and PEFC (PEFC/16-37-587) (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), we have a framework that enables us to identify and move away from materials coming from unknown or unacceptable sources.
IBT has achieved registration to continued chain of custody with both bodies. This system ensures that our timber is guaranteed to meet environmental guidelines from the forest floor to the shop floor. We recognise that timber as a building material is a truly renewable resource when properly managed so fully endorse the requirements of our PEFC (PEFC/16-37-587) and FSC ® Chain of Custody Scheme to ensure that where possible our timber is legally and sustainably sourced.
