At SAM, we are dedicated to sustainability and actively work to reduce our carbon emissions.

Additionally, we produce extra electricity through photovoltaic solar panels installed on our factory roofs. 

What is Chain of Custody? 

Chain of Custody is the unbroken path that products take from the forest to the consumer, encompassing all stages of manufacturing, transportation, and distribution. 
 
At SAM, we maintain a certified chain of custody for FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council®). This certification ensures that our MDF comes from either well-managed forests or recycled materials, in accordance with FSC® standards. 
 
Our commitment to Chain of Custody means that customers can trust us to source MDF from responsible, well-managed forests.  

What is FSC®? 

The FSC® label provides a credible link between responsible production and consumption of forest products, enabling consumers and businesses to make purchasing decisions that benefit people and the environment as well as providing ongoing business value. 
 
FSC® is nationally represented in more than 50 countries around the world. SAM is proud to be FSC® certified (license code C009061) and to have full chain of custody status.
