Chain of Custody- Procurement made simple.
One of the big challenges facing builders in today's market is how to meet the environmental requirements and demands.All the companies in the Howarth Timber Group take their environmental responsibilities seriously.All companies are full chain of custody certified ensuring that materials we provide to you can be traced back to well managed resources.Chain of Custody - Making things simple
The difficulties of Chain of Custody certification and maintanance of records on site are well known.That is why at Howarth Timber Group all our documentation is embeded with the relivant chain of custody codes for the products we supply.The benefits of this are that identification of qualifying materials on site is made much easier.
However , it is before starting on site that decisions are taken which can make project certification alot easier for the site operatives.Working with some of our own customers we have put together an induction document which identifies the areas that sites need to understand and consider when looking to maintain the chain of custody links.The doucment also points out the many pitfalls associated with having large numbers of different sub-contractors and associated timber suppliers and why it is easier to simplify this chain.

Obtaining this certification is something that we have a good knowledge of and our timber import company Arborforest products own in house expert -Peter Kelly MCIPD MIWSc - has produced a powerpoint presentation which identifies and makes clear the requirements and steps that companies will need to make to obtain a full company registration.This presentation is based on the Howarth Timber Group experience in this field and can be viewed by clicking on the following link- Howarth Timber Simple Steps to Chain of Custody.
