BHK of America is committed to corporate practices that result in the encouragement of sustainable forestry practices around the world. As a buyer and processor of many forms of wood fiber, BHK will encourage and/or require their wood suppliers to do the following:
- BHK of America requires that all of its suppliers of wood fiber, of any kind, be in strict compliance with the forestry laws of the country or origin.
- BHK also requires that all wood fiber sold to BHK be from legally harvested wood. On a periodic basis, suppliers will be required to provide documentation to that affect.
- BHK of America encourages all of its suppliers to obtain its raw material from forestlands that are managed under an accredited international standard of sustainability. If the forestland is not certified, BHK expects that the owners and/or managers of the land have a plan to achieve certification at some point in time. BHK, at any time, may ask for that written plan.
- Every BHK purchase order will contain these requirements.
- BHK of America will be good stewards of all wood fiber that it purchases and processes:
- All wood waste is collected and recycled.
- Wood waste will he minimized through our investments in technology, advanced processing techniques, and manufacturing efficiencies.
BHK of America will execute these policies religiously as our way of helping to assure that the world's wood resources will be healthy and available for many generations to come.
