Sustainability

Sustainability is not some extra layer of consideration. It has to be integral to everything we make and do, and include a focus on economic, ecological and social factors. Here in these informative pages, we summarise the many ways in which wood – in all its applications as a material – helps to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.

Climate benefit

Sustainability is not some extra layer of consideration. Thinking about climate benefit should come naturally and be incorporated from the first design to reuse and recycling.

LCA & EPD

A building’s climate impact during the actual construction process can be the same as or even larger than the impact generated over 50 years of use. The individual materials and processes we use therefore play a key role.
