As part of SEGRO’s commitment to continuous improvement in the area of sustainable procurement of timber products, we seek to procure our timber and related timber products from well managed sustainable forests. |
To achieve this SEGRO will ensure the following:
- That all timber used on our developments is from well-managed and independently certified sources where possible
- When timber is to be supplied by a third party, timber will only be purchased from a supplier or sub-contractor, approved by SEGRO
- Approve all sub-contractors and suppliers used for timber products following a detailed assessment of their Environmental Policy
- As Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) is our preferred method of seeking the Chain of custody of our timber products, we will use best endeavours to purchase timber products with this accreditation. If this cannot be applied, we will verify that timber is from a well-managed source
- Make our designers, contractors and all suppliers aware of this policy and use training if required to gain their support in its use
- Make this policy an integral part of our Environmental Management System
SEGRO's Construction Manager is responsible for ensuring that this policy is an integral part of the company Environmental Management System. The Group Environmental Manager will be responsible for its implementation
- The policy will be reviewed on an annual basis to ensure it is keeping apace with developments in the complete field of timber use and procurement.
