Chain of Custody certification provides evidence that the certified product originates from certified, well managed forests, and verifies that these products are not mixed with products from uncertified forests at any point in the supply chain, except under strict controls when percentage (%) labelling is being used. The chain starts at the forest, ensuring that our natural environment is maintained and is followed through every link of the chain through to the end user.

Chain of Custody certification is required whenever a company carries out an material alteration to the timber/product, or whenever they take physical or legal ownership of the timber/product.
