Bestwood - Your Environmental Choice
The New Zealand Ecolabelling Trust is a voluntary, multiple specification based environmental labelling programme, which operates to international standards and principles.
Initiated and endorsed by the New Zealand Government, Environmental Choice recognises the genuine moves made by manufacturers to reduce the environmental impacts of their products and provides a credible and independent guide for consumers who want to purchase products that are better for the environment.

What is Sustainability ?
CHH Woodproducts are committed to sustainability and the environment and achieved FSC Certification on our Kawerau Mill in 2002. We have recently extended this to our other mills and are on track to be FSC certified over the next 12 months.
As sustainability continues to become more important to both the architectural and building community, Woodproducts NZ continues to search for methods of ensuring that our customers and end consumers receive product that has minimal impact on the environment. Because we choose independently audited and measurable processes you can be confident that we are he
lping the environment and not just saying we do.
As the industry continues to develop around sustainability and the environment, you can rest assured we will be there doing our bit.
