...Global Timber is a global company who actively works to operate and maintain sustainable forestry. This means that trees must be felled legally, in accordance with international standards and in accordance with local regulations and legislation in our partner’s countries.   Our due diligence system ensures full transparency in the chain of custody and guarantees legality.
