Our Commitment to Sustainability

Our Responsibility to Wood

As a company working with solid wood, we are committed to responsible timber sourcing and environmental protection.
Protecting forest resources, minimizing our environmental impact and helping build a circular society are central to our mission.

Sustainable Sourcing

We select trusted timber suppliers and source wood from legally managed, sustainable forests. Wherever possible, we use FSC-certified timber to support the sustainable use of forest resources.

Reducing Our Environmental Impact

We are improving energy efficiency in our production processes and reusing wood offcuts to reduce waste and lessen our environmental impact.

Products Made to Last

The wooden goods we offer are designed and made with the aim of being passed down from one generation to the next.

Supporting Local Communities

We prioritize locally sourced timber, contribute to the local economy and take part in educational and community activities centered on wood.

Our Commitment to the SDGs

We take practical steps to support the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) and help build a sustainable society. In particular, we focus on Responsible Consumption and Production, Climate Action, and Life on Land.

We will continue to strengthen the lasting relationship between people and wood through business practices that look to the future.
