We at Northwood Trading recognise that the company has a responsibility to the environment, customers, suppliers and staff, to base its commercial activities on well-managed forests.

A common mistaken belief is that hardwood is bad for the environment. In fact alternatives such as carpets use more energy, release more carbon dioxide and waste products than wood.

This is what the Association of Environment Conscious Builders have to say: "Consider materials that are natural and from a renewable resource. Choose materials that have a low embodied energy and are not polluting in their manufacture, use or disposal".

Our company is committed to buying all timber from sustainable sources suppliers operating in accordance with the laws of their country.
