Every timber process we're involved in sees us offsetting more than 100% of its carbon footprint. And our ambition doesn’t stop there – with a roadmap set to achieve net zero emissions by 2027, we're walking the talk. Delve into our environmental initiatives and see our dedication first-hand.

Forging Stronger Partnerships

In our pursuit of a sustainable timber trade, we've aligned with key global entities like WoodYouCare, WWF, and other environmental champions. Our aim? To reimagine the timber industry. We're pushing boundaries, not just by planting trees, but by ensuring each green initiative has dual benefits: promoting ecological balance and fostering societal wellbeing.

Ensuring Timber Integrity with FSC and PEFC

One of the cornerstones of VonWood's commitment to sustainability and transparency is our adherence to recognized chain of custody standards. We're proud to be aligned with both the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC). These certifications are not just badges; they're our promise to you.

By upholding the rigorous standards set by FSC and PEFC, VonWood ensures that every piece of timber we trade is not just of high quality, but also sourced with integrity and respect for our planet and its inhabitants. This commitment further underscores our drive to make the timber trade transparent, responsible, and beneficial for all stakeholders.

Democratizing the Timber Landscape

By directly linking timber buyers with sellers, VonWood is at the forefront of industry evolution. Our streamlined platform ensures that businesses, big or small, gain equitable access to premium timber. Each transaction is transparent, guaranteeing quality and origin. But there’s a cherry on top: with every deal, we pledge to plant more trees, fortifying our commitment to a healthier planet.

Looking Ahead

As we move forward, our vision remains clear: to be the beacon of positive transformation in the timber industry. We’re continuously exploring innovative solutions, refining our processes, and strengthening our partnerships. The future is timber, and with VonWood, it's sustainable. Join us on this journey.
