We are familiar with the below mentioned quality labels and certificates:

FSC® certifications

The frequently used abbreviation FSC® refers to Forest Stewardship Council®. It is a global not-for-profit organization committed to the preservation of our forests. FSC® is worldwide supported by environmental and developmental organizations. The FSC® programe ensures the preservation of forests worldwide based on responsible forest management. Responsible forest management means not only the protection of plants, animals and locals, but also harvestating wood in a responsible way.

Are you curious about the origins of a certain product? If a wood product is originated from FSC®-certified forests it will be labeled with a FSC® label. Every company in a certain trade chain should be FSC®-certified. To accomplish, unique FSC® certificates are used. Homé Hout is FSC® certified. You can find our FSC®-certificate in English here.

Above all, keep asking for FSC® wood! More participants means more FSC® managed forests and more people and animals will benefit from this. For additional information you could visit the website: www.fsc.org
