We could all do more to help the environment, that is why choosing Dams ensures you are helping the natural world.
This year Dams are on target to be become EN ISO 14001:2004 compliant. EN ISO 14001:2004 is a voluntary certificate that Dams are persuing to enhance our environmental credentials. This is an internationally recognised standard that will ensure we reduce our negative impact upon the environment.
All of the particle board used by Dams is both FSC & PEFC compliant. FSC (Forestry Stewardship Council) & PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes) are non-profit organisations concerned with ensuring the responsible and sustainable management of forests.
Both organisations have international recognition and work to ensure that the world’s forests are managed in a responsible manner.

The ‘Urban Forest’ is defined as wood that has previously been used and discarded and provides significant environmental benefits by:
- Diverting waste wood from landfill sites and/or incineration
- Avoiding the use of incineration reduces the level of CO2 emissions into the atmosphere
Recycled wood from the ‘Urban Forest’ offers a sustainable solution to other wood based board products.
The UK currently consumes about 3% of the world's wood consumption. The UK has only about 1% of the world's population, but has three times the world's average per capita consumption rate of wood.
