Rosenfeld Kidson, as timber merchants acknowledge the importance of conserving the world's greatest renewable resource.

We are pleased to advise that we carry Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification that enables us to sell timber that carries either FSC® certification (SGS-COC-006703) or PEFC™ certification (SGS-PEFC/COC-0993).

FSC® certified timber and PEFC™ certified timber undergo independent, third-party audited certification procedures at every step of the supply chain. This provides designers, specifiers, architects and consumers absolute assurance that those forest and wood products labelled as FSC® certified or PEFC™ certified originate from responsible sources, which are managed to prescribed social, economic and environmental standards.

As a New Zealand timber supplier offering the country's largest range and quantity of specialist certified timbers we believe that stocking FSC® & PEFC™ certified timber is essential for our continued growth. A major part of our timber range has FSC® or PEFC™ certification and we are continually striving to increase this.
