Brooks Bros (UK) Ltd
Environmental Policy – July 2007
Fitchett & Woollacott are part of Brooks Bros (UK) Ltd and jointly operate an Environmental Purchasing Policy for the procurement of timber
and timber products. As full members of the Timber Trade Federation they are actively involved in the TTF Conduct Assurance Environmental
Scheme and TTF Responsible Purchasing Policy
The UK Government, through the Central Point of Expertise in Timber (CPET), has legislated that all timber specified on
Government contracts must be sourced from legal or legal and sustainable forests. Architects and Specifiers in all sectors of
the construction and joinery industry are requiring evidence from their suppliers that the timber being used on their contracts
is from sustainable sources.
Fitchett & Woollacott have PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forests) Certification, which is a fully accredited scheme
also covering CSA (Canadian Standards Association) and SFI (Sustainable Forest Initiative) schemes. They also hold full FSC
(Forest Stewardship Council) certification covering FSC Pure, FSC Mixed and FSC Recycled material.
The sourcing of Legally verified timbers is backed by MTCC (Malaysian Timber Certification Council), SGS independent verification
of Legal timber and OLB (Origine et Légalite des Bois) certification and audit systems that provide assurance of the legality and
origin of timber and are covered by our Forest products Chain of Custody Certificate.
With the ever increasing market awareness of the importance of Legal and Legal and Sustainable sourcing, our purchasing policy
is heavily influenced by these environmental responsibilities and our products are sourced from proven sustainable growth forests
and we have, through this policy, attained the highest levels of independent accreditation.
