Why FSC Was Important to This Project
FSC-certified products become a focused sustainable design feature of this project because it is a firm-wide philosophy that whenever possible that they select a sustainable option. Through the relationship they had developed with the never supplier, the supplier was aware of the firm’s preference for FSC-certified wood and were able to accommodate the large square footage requirement of the project.
