Environmental Statement

Shared Responsibility

At TBM Hardwoods, we share an individual and corporate responsibility to maintain and improve environmental standards. Our primary mission has always been the distribution of quality hardwoods and millwork. We believe green initiatives can mutually serve the environment, our customers and the bottom line.  

Procurement

Good stewardship is as important as quality and price when we consider domestic and foreign hardwood suppliers. Successfully partnering with reputable mills has enabled us to develop a reliable network of trusted suppliers. Additionally, we exercise due care to ensure that the lumber we buy has been sustainably managed, both legally and responsibly harvested, and properly documented according to current CITES and Lacey Act requirements.

TBM Hardwoods became a certified distributor of Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC) hardwoods in 2007. We are annually assessed by GFA Consulting Group GmbH to ensure we adhere to strict standards for the procurement, inventorying, documentation and distribution of FSC Mixed and Pure hardwoods. [Certificate Code: GFA-COC-002108.]

Processes

In the last decade, software and systems improvements have been a company priority. Investments in energy-efficient dry kilns, high optimization gang ripsaws and software programs to improve mill production, order processing and inventory management have allowed us to do more with less.

Tomorrow . . .

The best way to achieve our goals is to create a clean, safe work environment for our employees, efficiently produce quality products that further the success of our customers and ensure the stability and availability of natural, renewable resources for generations to come.
