sustainability

Indonesia has supplied billions of pounds worth of verified, legal timber to the EU since the FLEGT licensing began in 2003.

All teak used to make our furniture has a FLEGT license, which guarantees that the wood was harvested, processed, and exported in compliance with national laws. Indonesia is the first exporting country to require its wood to meet certain legal requirements in order to be exported. The FLEGT license is thus a regulatory approach to preventing illegal logging.

The idea for FLEGT was developed by the EU in 2003 following the Ministerial Conference on Forest Law Enforcement and Governance in Bali in 2001, where participating countries declared their commitment to jointly combat illegal logging and related illegal trade and corruption, and to uphold the rule of law in these areas. To implement FLEGT, the EU has established an action plan to prevent timber from illegal sources from entering the EU and to promote initiatives and strategies by partner countries, private companies, and financial institutions aimed at developing systems that ensure only legally produced timber reaches the market.

Our teak furniture

Sustainably sourced

The production forests on Java have developed into intensively and strictly managed plantations. These areas (4.9 million hectares of plantations in 54 forestry districts, primarily teak) are managed directly by the state through the State Forestry Corporation (SFC), Perum Perhutani.

These sustainable plantations are managed and owned by the government. They maintain strict policies regarding the size, age, and number of trees felled annually, as well as a comprehensive, sustainable replanting program. They ensure the sustainability and legality of their teak through SVLK certification.
We hold SVLK certification (which allows us to sell our furniture with confidence all over the world) and are committed to the values of equal opportunities and corporate social responsibility - through continuous professional development and the skills and well-being of our employees.

ALL our teak furniture is inspected and SVLK certified to confirm that it has been legally harvested and can be sold in all EU countries.
The EU Timber Regulation (EUTR) 995/2010 prohibits the sale of illegally harvested timber and wood-based products on European markets.

We are firmly committed to the values of equal opportunity and corporate social responsibility - through the continuous professional development and the skills and well-being of our employees.
