FSC Certification

Affirming our support for responsibly managed forests, Rosboro can offer Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certification for pure and mixed products as an option with our industry-leading glulam products. With this designation, Rosboro assures customers that, when requested, the wood they purchase is sourced from FSC-certified forests and meets strict tracking requirements. The FSC Chain of Custody procedure tracks material through the production process - from the forest to the consumer -- including the stages of processing, transformation, manufacturing and distribution.

Expanded Opportunities for Rosboro Customers
Along with meeting the necessary requirements, this certification also provides our clients an expanded selection of product options, all of which signify our long-standing commitment and leadership in responsibly managed lumber-procurement practices.

The Forest Stewardship Council is an international organization considered by many in the green building community to be an authority on the appropriate stewardship of the world's forests. By building with FSC-certified products, builders may advance their efforts (gaining additional "points") towards earning LEED® certification and many other regional green building certifications that only recognize FSC certification for wood products.

For example, under the LEED® rating system, many of the "certified wood credits" require that a minimum of 50 percent of wood-based materials and products be FSC-certified. While all of Rosboro's engineered wood products are already considered to be a "green building product" and earn points under most green building rating systems, an FSC-certified glulam can give our customers more opportunities to gain green-rated points on their projects.
