Description
The Timber Trade Federation is the voice of the UK timber industry and its mission is to help create
and sustain the conditions in which its members can prosper.
The Federation represents the timber industry’s views to central and local government, the devolved
political institutions and the European Commission. It is working closely with the Department of the
Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and the Department for International Development on a number of
issues. It has also provided input on behalf of the industry to the Forest Industries Sector
Sustainability Group, which advised the UK Government at the World Summit On Sustainable Development
in South Africa.
The Federation also provides its Members with information and services on technical matters, contracts,
statistics and standards as well as legal advice. It has also guarantees through its Conduct
Assurance Scheme that should any customer have a complaint against a Federation Member it will be independently
investigated.
Through its Forests Forever campaign, the Federation promotes the environmental advantages of timber
and timber products. It offers Members advice and technical support on packaging waste
regulations, life cycle analysis, climate change issues, forestry management and certification. It acts
as the environmental voice of the timber industry.
