Sustainability

Face Edge hold FSC^® and PEFC chain of custody certification, these internationally recognised standards set the bar for timber sourcing.

The construction industry is the largest buyer of timber products. The sector influences the type of timber in demand and helps to increase the amount of sustainably-sourced material used. Rating systems, such as SKA, BREEAM and LEED, provide credits – and thus, market incentives – for FSC-certified products.   At Face Edge we recognise selling responsibly is a focus area of construction firms’ environmental policies and as a licence holder we reassure customers that products are sourced without causing harm to the environment.

We are committed to reducing our environmental impact and continually improving our environmental performance as an integral and fundamental part of our business strategy and operating methods.  Not only is this sound commercial sense for all; it is also a matter of delivering on our duty of care towards future generations. 

It is our policy to reduce waste by re-using and recycling as much as possible.

Waste is treated at our factory premises.  We are proud to have reduced our gas usage by installing a wood burner, not only saving on our use of fossil fuel but reducing waste as well.
