When you choose one of our outdoor benches, you're investing in more than just furniture—you're supporting responsible forestry practices. We ensure every piece of wood meets rigorous ethical standards through three key approaches.
First, we exclusively partner with suppliers certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This means the timber comes from forests managed to preserve biodiversity, protect indigenous rights, and maintain ecological balance. Each shipment includes verifiable chain-of-custody documentation.
Second, we prioritize locally sourced materials when possible, reducing transportation emissions while supporting regional forestry communities. Our regional sourcing strategy allows us to personally visit forest sites and build long-term relationships with stewards who practice selective harvesting.
Third, we select wood species known for natural durability—like teak, cedar, and oak—that require minimal chemical treatment. This extends your bench's lifespan while reducing environmental impact. Our craftsmen further enhance longevity through traditional joinery techniques and natural oil finishes.
Beyond sourcing, we maintain transparency through numbered bench tags that let customers trace their wood's origin story. We regularly audit our supply chain and publish sustainability reports detailing our progress toward using 100% certified materials by 2025.
The result? Outdoor benches that weather beautifully while leaving forests thriving for future generations.
