The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is an international, non-governmental organisation 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-labelling scheme. There are national working groups in 28 countries including the UK.
Benfield ATT FSC-Certified Engineered Timber Structures do not Cost the Earth.
The FSC is supported by key proactive social and environmental groups including WWF, Greenpeace, Friends of the Earth and the Forestry Commission.
Benfield ATT holds a Chain of Custody certificate for the Design, Sales, Manufacture & Distribution of Engineered Timber Structures (CoC TT 1928). Uniquely, a Benfield ATT FSC project with 75% or more FSC timber automatically qualifies for Eco-Homes ˜Excellent"™ rating.

Benfield ATT FSC Timber Structures can be built using timber from most FSC-certified timbers. Over a million hectares of forest and woodland in the UK are now FSC certified - that's 38% of the total forest cover, and over 70% of commercial forestry. This includes a wide range of woodland types from large plantations to small community woods. So wherever you live, there's a good chance that there will be an FSC wood near you, and the possibility of businesses being able to use locally sourced wood is increasing.
