Environment and ecology
In February of 2008, our company was the first one among other lithuanian timber window manufacturing companies to receive an international FSC® certificate.
FSC (Forest Stewardship Council®) certificate controls and ensures ecology in manufactured products which is monitored by independent certifiers according to FSC standards and assessing flows of the products. Standards are developed in accordance with the FSC principles and criteria. The certification allows a customer to choose the products which have been produced in accordance with well-defined ecological standards. Only certified companies can mark their products with FSC labels. It is not enough just to buy FSC certified timber as a company must be certified as well. Each year audits must be carried out.
For those who care about environment must know that FSC certificate guarantees the customer that the timber is purchased from well-managed forests and so exalts importance of environmental protection, ecology, social welfare and long-term economics issues. Ask us for our FSC® certified products.
Customers who care about the future will choose the FSC labeled products only.
Our FSC certificate copy is presented below.
