Speciality Woods
1. Speciality woods are exotic and premier grade timbers
2. SpecialityWoods is a division of Brooks Bros (UK) Ltd that focuses on sustainable and responsibly sourced wood
A very important responsibility of SpecialityWoods is the environment. So often overlooked, the world's forests serve as a buffer to protect against global warming. Deforestation is a threat to woods' natural habitat, which is why only the most sustainable woods should be logged.
Twenty percent of global carbon emissions come from deforestation. Helping counter this destruction, forest regeneration renews tree cover by claiming the land to allow trees to grow naturally. Managing tree growth through long-term sustainable forestry can also optimise the land.
All SpecialityWoods sourced timbers, where possible, come from forests professionally managed to meet the rigorous standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) - a seal of approval that guarantees wood products come from responsibly managed sources and confirming they are entirely legal and sustainable.
These plantations support some 17 species of speciality woods, including Teak.
An efficient and well-run forest plantation generates financial, social and environmental benefits for many, by producing high quality wood while offsetting global warming and environmental degradation.
All speciality woods are sourced where possible from forests professionally managed to meet the rigorous standards set by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). This seal of approval guarantees wood products come from responsibly managed sources and confirms they are entirely legal and sustainable.
FSC also conforms to the UK government's Central Point of Expertise on Timber Procurement's (CPET) category A material, which is a mandatory requirement of suppliers to all central government projects. These plantations support some 17 species of speciality woods, including Teak (Tectona Grandis).
