FSC & PEFC Certification
L&S are pleased to announce that in November 2008 we were awarded the 'Chain of Custody Cerficate' for both FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification).

"The FSC's mission is to improve the management of the world's forests. They have offices in more than 46 countries and provide a standard setting, trademark assurance and accreditation service for companies and organizations interested in responsible forestry. Products carrying the FSC label are independently certified to assure consumers that they come from forests that are managed to meet the social, economic and ecological needs of present and future generations."
