The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international organization that monitors the supply of the world’s wood consumption and ensures a responsible chain of custody from the forest through exporting, manufacture and finally to the end user. The FSC ensures that any product or company that carries this mark is sourcing their wood from timber mills that has respects the surrounding environment and will re-plant areas that have been forested. Thus ensuring long term timber supplies and protection of the environment.
As part of our continual resourcing activity, Walton’s Supports the FSC in maintaining the world’s forests and looks to source all of its timber products responsibly. Please look for the FSC mark on our product pages. Each year there is an FSC celebration to help raise awareness of the Forest Stewardship Council and recognise what they do. It is a fantastic day where people around the world promote the good work of the FSC through discounts and dress down days to support the organisation. On Friday 30th September 2011 it is FSC Friday and we will have a 5% discount across our site in recognition of FSC and the FSC products that we have.
