Sustainable and Innovative Products

More sustainable products with wood and derivatives of certified or controlled origin

As "wood" is our core business, we are committed to sourcing wood products from forests of certified or controlled origin(1) managed in accordance with internationally recognised standards, namely FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®) or PEFC (The Program for the Endorsement of Forest).

Vicaima Group companies promote the purchase and consumption of FSC® or PEFC certified wood, with the responsibility and objective of ensuring the replanting of trees, safeguarding biodiversity and respecting the rights of local communities in forest areas.

Vicaima Indústria obtained FSC® certification in 2006 and was one of the first companies in its sector to adhere to this certification, which promotes the use of wood from certified forests managed in accordance with internationally recognised standards. Globaldis and Vicaima Limited were also certified in 2006 and Vicaima Puertas in 2021.

 

(1) controlled wood means that the origin of the wood is known and that it comes from legal and non-controversial sources
