In today’s world, sustainability isn’t just a trend—it’s a responsibility. With the construction industry’s growing environmental impact, from deforestation to carbon emissions, the materials we choose can shape the future of our planet.

At Armstrong Supplies, we’re committed to a greener future. Our range of responsibly sourced, certified timber products ensures your projects are both environmentally friendly and built to last. In this guide, we’ll dive into what FSC and PEFC certifications mean, their benefits, and spotlight our top certified timber products available now.
What Are FSC and PEFC Certifications?
When it comes to timber, FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) are the gold standards for sustainability. These certifications guarantee that the timber you’re using comes from forests managed with care for the environment, local communities, and long-term economic viability.
- FSC Certification: Ensures biodiversity protection, respect for indigenous rights, and forest health through rigorous management standards.
- PEFC Certification: Promotes sustainable forestry with a focus on conservation, worker rights, and legal compliance.
Both provide a traceable chain of custody, so you know your timber is ethically sourced from forest to finished product.
