Impact
We are committed to promoting sustainability through our selection of materials, business processes and supply chain. We take environmental responsibility seriously and therefore have the following systems and accreditations in place:
Environmental Management system
Reducing our environmental impact is an ingrained part of how we do business here at Forbes. From electric vehicles to zero trade waste, we care about what we use and how we use it.
Integrated Management System
We have implemented an Integrated Management System (IMS) that covers Quality, Health and Safety and Environmental management. This system has been certified by Telarc Limited to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO 45001. Through this we demonstrate our commitment to producing quality products for our clients and to maintaining a high level of occupational health and safety (OH&S) to protect the people who work for our company or who are affected by it’s activities.
PEFC Certification
Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international programme promoting sustainable forest management. This is to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards.
PEFC Certification means that the board used for our packaging comes from a sustainable source and there is a chain of custody tracking the board from the forest right down to the end product.
For more information about the PEFC programme, visit the PEFC website.

FSC® Certification
Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) has a certification scheme promoting sustainably managed woodland. It ensures business practices meet agreed standards of responsible forest management, and our boards are sourced from well-managed forests.
Similarly to PEFC, we abide by a chain of custody certification that emphasised supply chain integrity with FSC-certified wood.
