Choose sustainably sourced FSC^®-certified timber

Mitre 10 is committed to helping our customers meet their environmental goals. One of the key ways we do this is by offering timber and wood-based products that are responsibly sourced. The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) chain of custody (CoC) programme is a key certification that supports this effort. By prioritising sustainable procurement, we support forestry practices that protect ecosystems - it’s a commitment to ethical and sustainable construction.

The system tracks the journey of FSC-certified materials from the forest to the final consumer, offering assurance that the wood you purchase meets stringent sustainability standards.

The idea is to help builders and construction companies create environmentally healthy homes by making sustainable materials accessible. Using FSC-certified timber not only helps you meet your sustainability goals, but it also becomes a selling point for your clients. Like you, many clients will be looking to reduce the environmental impact of their building project. Your ability to offer timber that’s proven and certified to be responsibly and sustainably sourced allows you to meet their needs as well as align values for a stronger partnership.

Both you and your clients can trust that FSC-certified timber supports responsible forestry while also meeting the performance demands of the New Zealand building code. Whether you're working on a large-scale development or a personal project, choosing responsibly sourced wood makes a real difference.

At Mitre 10, we believe that sustainability and construction go hand in hand, and we’re proud to support our customers in making responsible choices for building for better. Chat to your Mitre 10 TRADE rep about FSC-certified timber options.
