Environmental Statement

Saunders Wood Specialties, Inc. is a Northern Wisconsin firm engaged in the manufacture of high-quality wood veneer panels for Architectural Firms, Office Furniture Companies, Store Fixture Industries, and Residential Carpentry.

Architectural Woodwork Institute (AWI):

As a National Member of the Architectural Woodwork Institute, we agree with, support, and adopt the institute's viewpoint on environmental sustainability and green certifications. See brochure: The Real Benefits of Wood. This can be viewed at www.awinet.org.

Wood Waste Utilization:

Saunders has taken further steps as a Company to increase the value from the resource while protecting it and others. In 2000 we installed equipment to utilize our wood waste for the production of energy to heat our facility. This action reduced our dependency on fossil fuels and substantially reduced the amount of material we were sending to landfill.

Forest Stewardship Council ® (FSC®):

In 2001 Saunders became FSC Certified for Chain of Custody for the use of FSC Certified sustainable harvested forest product materials in our manufacturing process. Our Certification number is "SCS-COC-000549". Ask our team about FSC certified products. Further information regarding the Forest Stewardship Council is available online at www.fsc.org.
