Maderera Bozovich in Casacor hand in hand with SERFOR, FSC AND USAID
In the latest edition of CASACOR, Maderera Bozovich reaffirms its leadership in the timber industry and its commitment to sustainability. In collaboration with the National Forest and Wildlife Service (SERFOR) and USAID, the company presents the "Sustainable Wood Terrace," a space that combines environmental responsibility, diversity, and excellence in engineering. The terrace is made from wood sourced from certified Amazonian forests with the FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) label, standing out for its multiple colors, textures, and construction properties, which bring the user closer to the richness of the forests and promote the sustainable management of these natural resources.
This exhibit at CASACOR not only highlights the aesthetic and functional qualities of Peruvian woods but also sends a clear message about the importance of sourcing timber products from legal and sustainably managed sources. Maderera Bozovich's collaboration with SERFOR and USAID reflects the company's commitment to environmental conservation, ensuring that forests are not only a source of resources but are also preserved for future generations.
Commitment to FSC Certification
The FSC certification is the most widely recognized forest certification system worldwide, and Maderera Bozovich takes pride in being part of this select group of companies that meet the strict international standards it promotes. With more than 183,000 hectares of certified forests in the Madre de Dios region, the company ensures that each of its products not only meets quality criteria but is also produced responsibly, balancing economic development, environmental conservation, and social well-being.
FSC certification guarantees that Bozovich's timber products come from sustainably managed forests, where tree species are preserved, and biodiversity is protected. This distinction is vital in international markets, where the demand for sustainable products continues to grow, and Maderera Bozovich has capitalized on this trend to position itself as a global leader in the timber industry.
