At Lamett, it's not just about delivering beautiful wooden floors, but also about making conscious, sustainable choices. We strive to combine aesthetic value with ecological responsibility, and that starts with the origin of our wood.
Forests connect us all. They provide the air we breathe, filter the water we drink and provide habitat for countless plants, animals and indigenous communities. PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) and FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) are internationally recognised labels that set the highest standards of responsible forest management. Forests carrying these certifications are sustainably managed where biodiversity is preserved, local communities are protected and replanting is a matter of course.
FSC® and PEFC certification does not only concern forest managers, but also companies in the supply chain. As an authorised seller of FSC®- and PEFC-certified wood, Lamett has an official Chain of Custody registration number. This means we can trace every piece of wood from the forest to the finished product. So you can be sure that your floor is not only beautiful, but also responsibly produced.
The management of Lamett Europe hereby declares its commitment to implement and maintain the PEFC Chain of Custody requirements in accordance with the PEFC standard (2002:2020). WOODBE-COC-001574.
Both FSC® and PEFC pursue the same goal of sustainable forest management. Yet they each take their own approach and certification system.
PEFC uses claims such as 70% PEFC-certified or 100% PEFC-certified. FSC® then uses other designations, such as FSC Mix 70%, FSC Mix Credit or FSC 100%. Which claim is used depends on the amount of certified wood in the final product.
FSC® was established in 1993, but did not fit as well with the ownership structure of European forests, especially for small private forest owners. Certification costs were too high and group certification did not yet exist. Therefore, PEFC emerged as an alternative in 1999. Although the systems differ, it is actually valuable that the two co-exist: they keep each other on their toes, encourage continuous improvement and prevent monopolisation. Forest owners thus have the freedom to choose the system that best suits their way of working.
Both are labels for wood from sustainably managed forests and aim to reduce deforestation.
They take social, ecological and economic aspects into account.
They are recognised and trusted worldwide.
Even non-certified wood has to meet strict quality and sustainability criteria. All the wood we use comes from responsibly managed plantations and forests. Together with our partners, we are actively committed to treating the wood, the people involved and the planet as a whole with respect. For us, sustainability is not a label, but a shared responsibility.
"We aim to have at least 90% of our wood assortment coming from sustainably managed forests certified to PEFC and FSC® standards by 2030. Currently, the share of certified wood is 70%, and we are committed to an annual increase of at least 5%. This ambition is part of our broader sustainability strategy and is embedded in our procurement policy."
Bruno Descamps, CEO of Lamett
