The forests of the world, a renewable resource for timber.
Inter-Continental Hardwoods, Inc. realizes the importance
of sustainable yield management of our forests, which means
the proper management of forests, where there is a balance
in the ecological, social and economic use of the forest.
We:
- Recognize our responsibility in following the worldwide
environmental policies for the purchase of tropical wood
and other wood products.
- Contribute to the process of sustainable forest development,
by supporting only those suppliers who operate based
on sustainable forest management, and encourage others to
do the same.
- Support and participate in organizations that promote
the use of sustainable forest management, through contributions,
but more importantly also by our personal involvement in
these organizations.
- As a member of the tt Timber International / Hinrich Feldmeyer
Group, we are involved first hand in implementing sustainable
forest management in concessions in Western Africa. Our
group has also developed its own strategies to make careful
forest management a principle for all its timber harvesting
operations.
