With wood we can build beautiful, high-quality, and quickly, to create an environment which helps combat climate change.
The timber industry
We are a £10bn supply chain employing thousands of people in sustainable construction, all the way from the forest to the building site. The businesses we represent are leaders in timber, and as a supply chain we strive to build low carbon, high quality solutions to solve the UK’s housing and climate crises.
Build it better with wood
Wood absorbs and stores carbon dioxide. This is why it is regarded as the lowest embodied carbon building material. By choosing to build with timber over more energy-intensive materials you support the bio-economy – a supply chain which aims to live in harmony with the planet, and create more natural spaces.
