Environmental Beliefs
At Welco Lumber Corp our goal is to achieve a reasonable balance between our economic pursuit and environmental protection. Adopting policies of sustainable development we believe is the success to this balance. We are committed to the promotion and conservation of natural resources.
Welco Lumber Corp is not a harvester of timber and we do not own logging operations; nor are we a manufacturer or producer of lumber products. Welco Lumber Corp does not own timberlands. We are buyers, sellers and remanufacturers of forest products and building materials.
We believe and promote the following principles:
- We will comply with all federal, provincial and municipal laws and regulations.
- We are committed to reducing material waste in all our operations through recycling practices.
- We will encourage our suppliers to follow good environmental and sustainable forestry practices. We do not support illegal logging and will not knowingly purchase from suppliers who we believe support these practices.
- We will encourage our wood product suppliers to use credible forestry standards such as the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), Forestry Stewardship Council (FSC), and Canadian Standard’s Association (CSA).
- We will stay abreast of developments and issues of environmental importance through active participation in various associations and educational forums.
- We will support reasonable environmental initiatives and training to promote sustainable forest practices.
