All John Brash timbers are sourced from renewable and environmentally well managed sources.  All John Brash softwood is either FSC or PEFC certified.  Hardwoods are sourced from well managed forests and wherever possible, carry independent certification.  Currently timber is imported from across Scandinavia, Finland, Russia, the UK and Central Europe.

In most of these countries felling is tightly controlled and in many cases the annual growth is more than the annual felling. It is also now becoming widely recognised that timber is one of the most environmentally friendly building materials.

 

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting the responsible management of the world's forests.  The FSC logo, together with the organisations chain of custody number, verifies that the wood comes from independently certified, well managed forests or other controlled sources.  John Brash's certificate number is TT-COC-1967.

 

The PEFC Council (Programme for the Endorsement  of Forest Certification schemes) is an independent, non-profit, non-government organisation, which promotes sustainable managed forests through independent third party certification.  The PEFC logo and registration number provides assurance to purchases that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests.  John Brash's PEFC licence number is PEFC/16-37-040.
