Kingspan Raised Floorings FSC Scheme Benefits
Kingspan raised flooring ranges are the only ones in the world to have third party chain of custody accreditation under the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) scheme. FSC promotes responsible management of the world’s forests and through consultative processes it sets international standards for responsible forest management.
When Kingspan raised flooring first approached FSC to request whether our systems and processes were appropriate for third party accreditation we believed that although we already followed quite strict internal standards a considerable amount of additional controls might be required before we could expect to gain approval. However, SGS (the body chosen to carry out the third party accreditation) were very pleased with the systems already in place at Kingspan, which made the process quite straightforward.
Under the third party chain of custody scheme, Kingspan raised flooring identifies the exact volume of FSC approved materials on all delivery notes, invoices etc. This is enabling customers worldwide to recognise Kingspan’s products as ones that support the growth of responsible forest management.
