Sustainability
Responsible sourcing – from forest to customer
We only purchase and handle raw timber from suppliers who meet our requirements for risk management and thorough control throughout the supply chain.
Our efforts include, among other things:
- Strict requirements for origin and legality
- Documented sustainability through recognised certification schemes
- Thorough screening processes and risk assessments
- Ongoing dialogue with forest owners, sawmills, contractors and verifiers to ensure high data quality and transparency
Certification and compliance
We work systematically with international standards and requirements – both to ensure compliance and to continually improve our practices.
This includes, among other things:
- Use of recognised traceability systems as documentation for sustainability
- Internal control, external and internal audits, and quality assurance of supplier data
- Continuous updating of procedures, methods and risk management in line with new legislation and market developments
Transparency and documentation
We believe that transparency builds trust. Therefore, we work systematically with:
- Digital documentation of supplier chains
- Clear control processes, both internal and external
- Standardised forms and validations that ensure comparable and verifiable sustainability data
- Sharing relevant documents with our customers and partners
Our ambition
DSHwood aims to be an active driving force in a responsible timber industry. This means that we:
- Strive to be leaders in implementing new requirements
- Work to reduce risks in the supply chain – not just document them
- Engage in dialogue with authorities, standardisation bodies and industry organisations to strengthen shared sustainability goals
- Constantly improve our systems and practices to ensure high integrity at every stage
Our approach to sustainability
At DSHwood, we work purposefully to ensure responsible and transparent trading in timber. For us, sustainability is not just about meeting legal requirements – it is about actively contributing to robust, responsible supply chains and long-term value creation for both forests and our partners.
