Stephan Beaulieu and the team at Patios et Clotures Beaulieu are proud of their wood fences and wood decks and patios. But while they take pride in their work, they are also very proud of promoting sustainable development in the forestry sector by purchasing only wood that is certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC).
FSC and You
With their mission of promoting the sustainable development of forests and socially beneficial and economically viable products, the FSC helps ensure that our forest resources will be available for future generations. Rather than purchasing wood that comes from poorly managed forests that are clear-cut or abused, Patio et Clotures Beaulieu believes that it is important to ensure that the forestry industry can have positive impacts on the surrounding communities, improve living conditions and maintain an important part of our ecosystem.
“More and more of my clients ask if the wood that I use for their patio or fence is FSC certified,” stated Stephan Beaulieu. “People are more and more concerned about the environmental impact of their project.”
FSC Wood
Both companies that produce wood and companies that produce wood products can be certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Wood producers who follow the sustainable development philosophy and framework of the FSC can receive certification. Companies that produce wood products, such as Patios et Clotures Beaulieu, can also receive certification if they use FSC certified wood and certify the traceability chain.
Why Patios et Clotures Beaulieu supports the FSC
There are several reasons why Stephan Beaulieu and his team support the FSC. First, buying FSC wood means they are supporting conscientious forestry companies. Second, by working with FSC certified wood producers, they can contribute concretely to sustainable development and reducing greenhouse gasses while ensuring the future of our forests. Finally, not buying from uncertified companies is a way of reducing the incentive to mistreat or illegally cut forests.
For Stephan Beaulieu and his team, sustainable development is not only the concern for large companies and governments. Every individual has a role to play, and by using FSC certified wood in your wood projects, you can directly contribute to this important endeavour.
