Environment Environmental Policy

Striving To Be Environmentally Friendly And Socially Responsible

TDSL strongly believes that timber, from well managed forests, causes less environmental damage when measured on a true life-cycle analysis, compared to steel, concrete, aluminum, plastic and other alternatives. Timber can be recycled or burned to recover heat energy and it bio- degrades safely.

Purchasing Policy

TDSL only procure timber via the Timbmet Group. Our goal is that all our timber and wood products will derive from legally and sustainably managed forests. To achieve this goal we are committed to:

Independent Checks And Certification

Timbmet is a member of the WWF UK Forest and Trade Network (WWF UK FTN). The UK FTN (formerly the WWF 95+ Group) is an innovative partnership between WWF and businesses involved in timber or paper products. As a member company TDSL is required to report annually on performance against our timber purchasing policy commitments. Performance is assessed by WWF and subject, on a random sample basis, to independent audit.


Employees,Waste,Packaging & Local Environment

TDSL places great emphasis on the health and safety of its working environment and the protection of employees. TDSL will provide environmental training appropriate to the responsibilities of employees. A dedicated named employee co- ordinates the environmental activities, monitors continuous improvement and reports to the board of directors.
