Boral Timber has announced that it has achieved Chain of Custody certification for its hardwood product range, demonstrating its commitment to securing a sustainable future for Australia’s natural resources, and building a stronger market position against non-certified and illegal wood products.

This achievement builds on the previously awarded Chain of Custody Certification for Boral Plywood and Boral Sawmillers Exports.

Chain of Custody certification (AS 4707 — 2006) confirms that Boral Timber hardwoods are sourced from certified sources and the company can prove traceability of its wood materials from the forest through to the sale of its products to customers.

What this means for architects, specifiers and designers is that by using Boral Timber hardwoods, they are supporting sustainably managed timber harvesting and timber processing, which is vital for the long-term future of Australia’s forestry and wood product resources. Furthermore, by specifying timber, the industry is utilising the only fully natural and renewable building product available on the market today.

Boral Timber sources the bulk of its timber supply (both hardwoods and softwood) from Australian

Forestry Standard (AFS) certified forests — the only forestry certification scheme in Australia to have an Australian Standard (AS4708-2007). Specifically designed for Australian conditions, more than 95 per cent of Australian certified forestry is AFS-certified.

The Boral Timber hardwoods Chain of Custody, linked to the Australian Forestry Standard, was awarded through an independently audited process carried out by the Engineered Wood Products Association of Australasia (EWPAA) - accredited by JAS-ANZ.
