PRESS RELEASE- Unitco-Universal Trading Co. SAL , License Code FSC®-C124518, Romanel Hardwood SRL, Licence Code FSC®-C123778 and Romanel Wood Industry SRL, Licence Code FSC®-C132647 announce Forest Stewardship Council ® (FSC®) Certification
Unitco and Romanel have long understood the importance of healthy environmental concerns. To reinforce their already strong commitment to responsible practices, Unitco and Romanel have both achieved FSC® Certification during the first quarter of this year, for both whitewood and beechwood production.
As a responsible group that cares about the environment, Unitco strives to avoid any negative environmental impact of its activities: for this reason, Romanel uses raw material that is compliant with environmental legislation and procedures.
According to Hassan F. Sinno, Director at Unitco and at Romanel, “our recent accreditation is an important addition to our commitment to the proper use of the forest and to the environment. It also allows us to give a boost to the growing population of customers who care about the sustainability of the source of their product. Environmentally suitable forest management ensures that the proper harvest of logs maintains the forest's biodiversity, productivity and ecological processes. It also safeguards the ability of future generations to benefit from this renewable resource. We are honored to receive this certification which recognizes our continued commitment to sustainable management practices”.
FSC® is an international NGO dedicated to promoting responsible management of the world’s forests. It was founded in 1993 in response to public concern about deforestation and demand for a trustworthy wood-labeling scheme. There are national working groups in more than 50 countries.
