FSC certification

We are proud to announce the recent FSC certification of the OSTERMANN Group. From now on, we can also supply real wood edgings and other wood products with the FSC label.

When buying wood and wood-based products, people who care about sustainability often look specifically for the label of the Forest Stewardship Council^® (FSC). This certification recognises wood-based materials and derivatives from responsible and controlled forest management and underscores a company's commitment to ecological and social sustainability. With the OSTERMANN Group now fully certified, we are demonstrating our commitment to selling real wood products and derivatives that come from responsibly managed forests or recycled sources. This reflects both the growing demand in the market and the values of our company. The certification means that we can now offer our customers wood products with the FSC label. These include veneer edgings as well as fluted dowels, dowel rods and connecting plates from Lamello and REDOCOL. Numerous other items are available on request.

Cabinet makers/carpenters can now obtain products from OSTERMANN with the popular and strictly licensed FSC label.

Benefits for customers and the environment

Not only does FSC certification mean ecological added value, it also stands for transparency and security along the entire supply chain. As an OSTERMANN customer, you can now rely on products that have been awarded the FSC label – a quality feature that is becoming increasingly important for many construction projects and tenders.

A long and intensive process

The certification of the entire OSTERMANN Group is the result of an intensive preparation phase during which an international project team aligned all processes and standards with the stringent requirements of the FSC label. We at OSTERMANN hope that our certification will now motivate more companies across Europe to increase their efforts for environmental protection and social responsibility.

Sustainability at OSTERMANN

Sustainability is not just a fad, it's an obligation towards our environment and future generations! That's why we as a company have long been committed to meaningful action in this area, as documented in our sustainability report. FSC certification is another important step in this direction. It enables us to give our customers the assurance that they are making a positive contribution when purchasing our products.

Actively shaping the future

With FSC certification, we are sending a strong signal in favour of sustainable development throughout the OSTERMANN Group. We invite our business partners and customers to continue along this path with us and actively take responsibility for the environment.
