Timber Sustainability - Certification

Boral Timber products have full Chain of Custody certification aligned with the Australian Forestry Standard (AFS)

Chain of Custody Certification
Chain of Custody tracks a forest or wood product from its origin in a certified forest through to its end use by the consumer. The Chain of Custody certification verifies that Boral Timber products are produced from certified, legal and sustainable resources. As such, Chain of Custody is a tracking process that provides an environmental assurance standard for the sustainable use of Australia’s forest resources.


Forestry Management Certification
State or private property forestry owners can apply for forestry certification to prove that they are managing their forests in a sustainable manner in accordance with recognised certification schemes, and in the case of AFS, according to an Australian Standard.


The Australian Forestry Certification Scheme (AFCS)
AFCS is a forest certification scheme developed to promote sustainable forestry management specifically for the Australian environment. AFCS is mutually acknowledged by the internationally recognised Program for the Endorsement of Forestry Certification (PEFC). The AFCS is the only forest certification scheme with an Australian Standard (AS4708-2007).
