FSC® Chain-of-Custody
VT Industries is Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain-of-Custody (COC) certified (SCS-COC-004128) promoting responsible forest management.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) promotes environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial, and economically viable management of the world's forests. FSC Chain of Custody (COC) is the path taken by raw materials, processed materials and products, from the forest to the consumer, including all successive stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution.
The main objective of FSC COC certification is to ensure that FSC certified material is tracked through the supply chain between operations and production processes within operations. Only FSC COC certified operations are allowed to label products with the FSC trademarks.
A certified Chain of Custody up to the final point of sale enables end customers to identify and choose FSC certified products knowing there is a system in place to verify the sources of the wood used to manufacture the products. The FSC label thus provides the link between responsible production and consumption.
FSC certified doors are available upon request to meet LEED credit MR 7: Certified Wood. Check out VT's LEED Calculator to find a FSC door for your project.
