What an FSC certificate tells you about the timber you buy

FSC certification covers how a forest is managed (forest management) and how certified wood is tracked through processing (chain of custody). UFCL holds forest management and chain-of-custody certification (licence FSC-C131488, certificate SA-FM/COC-006458, issued by Soil Association) for 9,084.56 hectares around the Nyungwe buffer zone.

For tenders that require certified timber, ask for the certificate code and a chain-of-custody statement on the invoice.
