What's is your position on fiber sourcing and responsible forest managment?

All the wood fiber we source and use must come from suppliers that are certified according to FSC® or PEFC™ standards. Our demand is that the fiber at a minimum will always meet the FSC® Controlled Wood standard, which means that the origin of the fiber has been verified by an independent third party.
