TTF Code of Conduct

All TTF members are required to adopt and comply with this Code of Practice for use as a public and promotional document forming an integral part of the TTF Code of Conduct. Its aim is to provide a generic set of commitments to ensure that companies are taking all possible steps to minimise their impact on the environment and source their timber and timber products responsibly. This code is binding on all TTF members.

1. Members are committed to sourcing their timber and timber products from legal and well-managed forests. Members unreservedly condemn illegal logging practices and commit themselves to working with suppliers and other stakeholders towards their complete elimination.
   
   
2. Members recognise that the independent certification of forests and the process chain is the most useful tool in providing assurances that the timber they deal in comes from legal and well-managed forests.
   
   
3. Members will avoid misleading and unsubstantiated claims in relation to wood products supplies.
   
   
4. Members will make every reasonable effort to minimise the environmental impact of company activities in other ways including: · By ensuring the efficient use of energy · Minimising waste and utilising residues.
   
   
5. Members undertake to ensure that all relevant personnel employed by them will be conversant with and abide by the Code of Practice and its implications.
   
   
6. Where members knowingly contravene any part of the Code of Practice, the TTF will invoke the Code of Conduct Complaints Procedure and members agree to abide by the current TTF Code of Conduct Complaints Procedure.
