In August of 1999, we became the first company in the state of Rio Grande do Sul to receive the FSC Certification® (Forest Stewardship Council®). This organization known around the world promotes the responsible management of natural and planted forests, certifying the origin of forest raw materials.
We have received the Forest Management Seal and the Non-exclusive Chain of Custody Seal. This means that the company utilizes wood originated from forests that are managed in an environmentally correct, socially fair, and economically viable manner.
FLOSUL was evaluated by the Rainforest Alliance SmartWood Program (United States), represented in Brazil by the Forest and Agricultural Management and Certification Institute (IMAFLORA – Instituto de Manejo e Certificação Florestal e Agrícola). In 2009, our forests were recertified under the aforementioned program.
