Forest Stewardship Council ®

Tenon sources logs from radiata pine tree farms in New Zealand's central North Island. All trees are harvested on a renewable basis - and we do not source from natural or native forests.

The Forest Stewardship Council® ('FSC®') recognises our strong commitment to sourcing raw materials responsibly. Our local forests achieved FSC® certification for responsible management in 2000. The FSC® trademark is the leading certification that is recognised worldwide by suppliers, retailers and consumers.

Our processing plants have also held FSC® chain-of-custody certification since 2000. (Chain-of-custody follows the raw materials right from the forest, through the manufacturing process, to delivery to the consumer).

In cases where we do not use FSC®-certified wood, we have strict policies around sourcing other wood. We will not take wood which has been:

  • illegally harvested or from trade in illegal wood or forest products
  • harvested in conflict with traditional or human rights
  • harvested from natural forests, high conservation value or environmentally-sensitive areas
  • harvested from natural forests converted to plantations or non-forest use
  • produced from genetically modified trees
  • produced in violation of any of the ILO Core Conventions, as defined in the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work
