The Chain of Custody identification numbers are :

FSC® is an international non-profit, multi stakeholder organisation established to promote responsible management of the world’s forests. Its main tools for achieving this are standard setting, independent certification and labelling of forest products. FSC® chain of custody is a tracking system that allows manufacturers and traders to demonstrate that timber comes from a forest that is responsibly managed in accordance with the FSC® Principles and Criteria.
The PEFC Council is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation which promotes sustainably managed forests though independent third party certification. The PEFC provides an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests. The Australian Forest Standard (AFS) is PEFC certified which allows TLB to offer COC on AFS products under AS 4707.
All certified products sold by TLB are easily identified with relevant branding and documentation.
TLB Timber operates under a detailed Responsible Timber Procurement Policy, ensuring that all timber is legally harvested, transported, and processed in accordance with national laws. The company does not purchase from protected areas or species listed under CITES Appendix 1.
Each year, TLB Timber undergoes independent SGS audits to maintain the integrity of its FSC® and PEFC™ Chain of Custody certifications. This ensures full traceability, giving architects, builders, and designers confidence that the timber they specify supports sustainable forest management worldwide.
