When it comes to construction, every decision impacts the environment. From sourcing your materials to how energy efficient your building is. Businesses like yours have a responsibility to consider the sustainability of their projects. At Galaxy Insulation and Dry lining, we want to balance high performance with environmental responsibility. That is why we are proud to hold a Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC® ) certification.
But, how can FSC -certified® materials support sustainability in your next project?
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC®) ensures wood and forest-based products are sourced responsibly by promoting sustainable forestry practices that prevent deforestation, protect biodiversity, and maintain forest ecosystems.
FSC® standards also support social responsibility by safeguarding workers’ rights, respecting indigenous communities, and encouraging the use of lesser-known timber species to preserve biodiversity.
By having FSC® certification, here at Galaxy, we can ensure you have transparency from the forest to the final product whilst helping you and your business to make eco-conscious choices confidently.
Did you know the construction industry generates nearly 40% of global CO2 emissions? This means it is a critical area for sustainability improvement. As timber is a renewable resource, if sourced responsibly, FSC® certified wood can maximise the advantages of timber without contributing to unsustainable forestry practices.
Here’s how orest Stewardship Council -certified materials can benefit your project:
Timber requires 24 times less energy to produce in comparison to steel. By specifying orest Stewardship Council -certified timber, you’re choosing a material that minimises energy use and carbon emissions.
FSC® certification guarantees that your materials come from forests managed sustainably. This reduces the risk of contributing to deforestation, so your project will support biodiversity and long-term environmental health.
FSC® certification is recognised globally as the gold standard in sustainable forestry. Using orest Stewardship Council -certified products boosts your project’s reputation as eco-conscious and aligned with global sustainability goals.
FSC® standards include protections for workers' rights and local communities. By choosing FSC® -certified wood, you support ethical labor practices and the preservation of livelihoods tied to forestry.
Many green building certifications, such as BREEAM and LEED, reward the use of FSC® -certified materials. By incorporating FSC® -certified products, you can help meet this criteria and add value to your construction projects.
At Galaxy Insulation & Dry Lining, we have a wide range of products certified by the Forest Stewardship Council so we can help your project reach its sustainability goals whilst maintaining exceptional quality and performance. So, whether you are aiming for green building certifications or simply want to make an eco-conscious choice, our orest Stewardship Council -certified materials will help your project go green.
