Environmental Policy

In all areas of our business we expect to act responsibly. Timber is a precious resource in terms of both its own life and of the diverse flora and fauna it supports. T&G pay particular attention to the products we manufacture and buy, their sustainability and suitability for our increasingly environmentally concerned customers and consumers.

Environmental concerns are central to T&G Woodware’s business as our product range is still predominately wood. The policy of the company is to try, where possible to ensure that all T&G products are manufactured from timbers sourced from well-managed and sustainable forests and plantations. Wood from FSC certified forests is not only environmentally sound, it is also better wood, grown under perfect conditions and matured to perfection providing enhanced strength, leading to high quality products.

T&G have been at the very forefront of developing the FSC Housewares market in the UK and overseas and were a founder member of the World Wildlife Federation 95+ Group. (WWF 95+). Now a long time serving member of FSC, the FSC logo on our products provides you the customer with an independent guarantee that the forest is managed according to agreed social, environmental and economic standards. Today over 80 of our products promotes the green FSC credentials. We are continually adding to this number and introducing new ranges, with many of our products coming from European FSC sources.

T&G’s FSC ranges in beech wood. include our “TV Chef’s Boards”, which are used by Chef’s such as Gary Rhodes, Gordon Ramsay, Jamie Oliver at the Good Food Show every year and appear on many of the top cookery programmes week in week out! T&G’s commitment to design, quality and raw material continue to inspire and lead the Housewares industry.
