Timber Sources
Grant Shortland Interiors is committed to buying all hardwood and softwood from legal and renewable sources, and will seek evidence that suppliers are in compliance with this policy. As sources of certified timber become more available the company will give preference to certified timber wherever practical and will not purchase timber where it is known to have originated from illegal sources and will not purchase any timber species prohibited under Appendix 1 of the Convention on International Trading on Endangered Species (CITES).
Recycling
The company is committed to reduce consumption of all materials wherever possible and is committed to recycling materials where practical.
Energy - heat Source
At Shortland all our heating comes from timber off-cuts or that or used in our wood burning incinerator. This supplies heat to the workshop and offices all year round. All buildings and plant are also designed where possible to reduce impact on the local environment.
