In the wood industry, sustainability and environmental responsibility are crucial. At Frapont, we understand the importance of promoting sustainable practices throughout the supply chain. In this article, we will explore FSC® C116496 (Forest Stewardship Council®) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certifications, as well as the integration of LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification in wood-related projects, such as the successful case of Campus Generalitat.

FSC® Certification: Promoting responsible forest management.

The FSC® is a recognized international organization that promotes responsible forest management and forest conservation. FSC® certification guarantees that wood products come from sustainably managed forests, considering social, environmental and economic aspects. The FSC® chain of custody traces the origin of the wood, from the forest to
the final product, ensuring traceability and credibility.

PEFC Certification: Promoting sustainable forestry

PEFC is another widely recognized certification system in the timber industry. Like the FSC®, PEFC promotes sustainable
forest management, but has a regional focus. PEFC certification verifies that forests are managed according to region
specific environmental, social and economic standards. This certification guarantees that the wood used in products
comes from responsible and sustainable sources.

The Generalitat Campus, a project by Frapont, is a prime example of how sustainability and certifications can be successfully integrated into the wood industry. This innovative complex, which has obtained LEED certification, has incorporated the use of FSC®-certified wood in its construction. This demonstrates Frapont’s commitment to responsible forest management and the promotion of sustainable practices.
