ORIGIN & CERTIFICATES

Tested to the highest standards and strictest norms

All wood used comes from controlled forestry. In 2019, 49% of the wood and wood-

based materials used were either FSC

©

or PEFC certified. Although not all the requi-

red volumes can be procured on the market with FSC

©

or PEFC certification, all the

wood used comes from controlled, sustainable forestry. The legality of the origin is

ensured by internal and independent external audits.
