Responsible Timber Sourcing

Engineered timber such as CLT and Glulam is increasingly being used for building structures alongside traditional timber components such as doors and windows. Ensuring the timber used is from well managed forests is a pre-requisite of project certification schemes and corporate procurement policies. This workshop will look at the background to forest certification; the UK timber market; drivers for certified timber; requirements of CPET and how compliant certification schemes compare; a model timber specification; how Chain of Custody certification works and the information you need to see; Project certification.
