Sustainability at Wood Green Timber
At Wood Green Timber, sustainability isn’t just a buzzword — it’s a commitment. As a family-run business with deep roots in North London since 1981, we take pride in doing our part to ensure the future of our industry — and our planet — remains strong, healthy, and responsible.
Certified Timber – Always
We are proud to be both FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) and PEFC™ (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification™) certified.
This means that all of the timber we stock comes from responsibly managed forests, where environmental, social and economic standards are carefully protected.
We work with fully certified suppliers, including Södra, a leading Scandinavian timber producer with a strong UK presence. Our supply chain is ethical, transparent, and fully compliant at every stage.
Our certification logos are displayed across our business, and full details are available on request.
Sustainably Sourced from Scandinavia
All of our timber is sourced from Scandinavian forests, widely recognised as the global leaders in sustainable forestry.
For every tree harvested, three new trees are planted — securing forest regeneration and maintaining biodiversity for generations to come. Scandinavian forestry standards are some of the strictest in the world, with careful control over logging, replanting, habitat protection and long-term planning.
Choosing Wood Green Timber means choosing materials that are sourced with care and responsibility.
Our Commitment to the Future
We are fully committed to promoting sustainability across every part of our operation, wherever we can.
While our main focus remains on responsible sourcing, our ethos is simple:
Do the right thing today, so that there’s a better tomorrow.
We continue to look for ways to reduce waste, improve efficiency, and ensure our customers have access to high-quality, responsibly sourced timber — now and into the future.
