SUSTAINABLE FORESTRY POLICY
Charles Ingram Lumber Company employs credible, environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable forestry procurement and harvesting practices to meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. We practice a land stewardship ethic when purchasing and harvesting timber that promotes the reforestation, managing, growing, nurturing, and harvesting of trees for useful products with the conservation of soil, air, and water quality, biological diversity, wildlife and aquatic habitat, recreation, and aesthetics.
Charles Ingram Lumber Company shall never knowingly accept any wood produced in significant violation of state Best Management Practices for Forestry (BMPs). All professional wood producers delivering wood to CILCO will complete and maintain SFI Implementation Committee approved logger training to achieve SFI Logger Education “trained” status.
Charles Ingram Lumber Company is committed to comply with all applicable social laws, such as those covering civil rights, equal employment opportunities, anti-discrimination and anti-harassment measures, workers’ compensation, indigenous peoples’ rights, workers’ and communities’ right to know, prevailing wages, workers’ right to organize, and occupational health and safety.
The Log Purchase Agreement and Base Logging Contract contain language for mandatory BMP compliance, documentation of logger training, and compliance with all applicable state and federal laws, rules and regulations to insure that CILCO receives no wood from illegal and controversial sources.
Charles Ingram Lumber Company does not procure any material covered by its SFI Due Diligence Risk Assessment that originates from converted forests to other vegetation type, including conversion of primary forests to forest plantations.
This policy has been communicated to all affected suppliers. On request it is available to customers and other interested parties.
