Blu Dot Sustainable Wood Sourcing Policy

We are committed to sustainable practices that prioritize environmental responsibility and ethical stewardship. As part of this commitment, we recognize the critical importance of responsible wood sourcing to protect our forests, biodiversity, and the communities that depend on them. Our Sustainable Wood Sourcing Policy outlines our principles and practices for procuring wood materials in a manner that respects both people and the planet. 

• Comply with all applicable laws and regulations related to wood sourcing in every region where we operate.
• Prohibit the sourcing of wood from illegal logging operations or from regions where illegal logging is a known issue.
• Implement robust due diligence processes to verify the legality of the wood in our supply chain.
• Prohibit the sourcing wood from High Conservation Value (HCV) forests, including areas with high biodiversity, unique ecosystems, or critical habitats.
• Respect the rights of indigenous peoples and local communities to own, use, and manage their traditional lands.
• Prioritize sourcing wood from forests certified by recognized third-party certification parties such as FSC® (license code FSC-N004175) or Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
• Support and encourage forest management practices that promote biodiversity conservation, soil and water protection, and the rights of forest-dependent communities.
• Maintain accurate records and documentation throughout our wood supply chain to enable traceability back to the original source.
• Strive to increase transparency by publicly disclosing information about our wood sourcing practices, including the origin of wood used in our products and any certifications obtained.
• Committed to continuously improving our wood sourcing practices through regular review, assessment, and stakeholder engagement.
• Collaborate with suppliers, industry partners, and other stakeholders to address common challenges and promote best practices in sustainable wood sourcing.

We recognize that responsible wood sourcing is integral to our commitment to sustainability and corporate social responsibility. By adhering to this policy, we aim to contribute to the conservation of forests, the protection of biodiversity, and the well-being of communities worldwide.
