Respect for
nature´s materials
Respect for nature and its materials is at the heart of our company.
”It can take 150 years to grow a big and beautiful oak tree, so you really have an obligation to make the best out of it. To craft the furniture to last.”
— Thomas Graversen, Owner of Fredericia
Wood
All wood from Fredericia comes from responsibly managed forests, where replanting is required.
The FSC Forest Management Certification confirms that a forest is being managed in an environmentally responsible manner that preserves biodiversity and benefits the lives of local people and workers. The FSC
standard is gradually being applied to all our products throughout 2021.
The European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) is a trade mechanism imposed by the EU Parliament and Council to reduce illegal logging by ensuring that no illegal timber or timber products can be harvested or sold in the EU.
