Sustainability
Wood is the only truly renewable building material. By building with sustainable timber, we help to grow global forests and combat climate change.
Increasing the use of sustainable timber is essential for lowering carbon emissions. This is because timber absorbs and stores carbon dioxide – up to one tonne per cubic metre – and can displace carbon intensive alternatives.
