Our Pledge to Sustainability
At Highland Heritage Woodworks (“HHW”), we are not only committed to showcasing the untapped potential of locally sourced Scottish timber but also to leading the way in sustainable practices. Our dedication to achieving net zero emissions is a fundamental aspect of who we are and what we care about. Since our inception in 2021, sustainability has been at the core of everything we do, guiding our decisions and shaping our operations.
Our journey towards emission reduction involves meticulous attention to every detail of our production process. From the responsible sourcing of raw materials to the innovative use of technology, we strive to minimise our impact. Investing in state-of-the-art equipment such as our electric Mebor wide band horizontal sawmill which enables us to enhance efficiency, reduce waste and reduce emissions whilst ensuring that each piece of timber is utilised to its fullest potential. Subscribing to a fully renewable electricity tariff ensures that we further minimise the emissions required for our energy needs.
Our commitment to sustainability is evident in our adherence to stringent certification standards. As accredited holders of the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), and our recent certification with Grown in Britain (GIB), we continually reinforce our dedication to promoting sustainable forestry and reducing our impact. These certifications are not merely badges of honour but reflect our unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship.
