Our Environmental Policy

Cheshire Mouldings believe that wood is one of the earth’s most important renewable resources. Forests are the foundation for life itself – stewarding our climate, protecting our soil, and providing the air that we breathe. We are committed to supporting the responsible management of the world’s forests by promoting the trade in timber and timber products from well-managed forests.

Our Initiatives

Endangered Species

We will not trade in timber species prohibited under the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora.

Traceability and Supplier Monitoring

We are developing systems to obtain the clearest practicable information about the source of raw material in our products, so that we can make responsible purchasing decisions and support our customers environmental needs.

Legality

We are committed to purchasing timber and timber products from legal sources and may seek evidence of compliance from suppliers that they are operating in accordance with the laws of their country. We unreservedly condemn illegal logging practices and aim to keep ourselves informed of changes in international processes and legislation.

Timber Certification

We are FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council® ) Chain of Custody certified, supporting responsible management of the world’s forests. We are also PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) Chain of Custody certified to supply products originating from sustainably managed forests.

Customers

We aim to help our customers meet their environmental commitments by providing a range of products that meet the highest environmental standards.

Environmental Impact

We make every reasonable effort to minimise the environmental impact of our business, as for example by the efficient use of energy and recycling of waste at our manufacturing site.

Training

We train our staff to fulfil their role in our environmental commitments, especially the manufacture and supply of certified products.
