NW Millwork & Door and FSC Certification

On April 12, 2007, we became the first company in Kitsap County to receive  FSC chain-of-custody certification for our milling & cabinetry shop that utilizes FSC-certified products.

Third-party certification of our manufacturing practices is important for several reasons. First, it provides credible, independent verification. Further, it ensures that our practices meet a set of specific and meaningful values. And finally, certification provides a clear process for continually improving all of our practices.

FSC certification is the gold standard. The FSC's stringent social, economic, and environmental criteria are considered the most far-reaching and the most effective for fostering true forest sustainability. As a result, FSC standards have been endorsed by many environmental and nongovernmental organizations. Similarly, FSC-certified wood products are increasingly favored by commercial builders and developers because using FSC-labeled wood helps in attaining LEED status from the U.S. Green Building Council.
