The demand for sustainable interiors in commercial spaces is growing. More businesses now recognise the value of integrating sustainability not just into their products and services but also into the design and materials used in their premises – whether that be a shop, restaurant, bar, office, hotel, or whatever the case may be.
As an FSC-certified company, we offer the option of sourcing and working with FSC-approved timber, guaranteeing ethical and responsible forestry practices. We help clients incorporate sustainable materials into their projects, creating beautiful, functional interiors that align with their broader environmental goals.
From individual custom pieces to full-scale interior transformations, we work with you to seamlessly integrate FSC-certified materials – benefitting both the planet and your brand.
What does FSC-approved mean?
FSC-approved materials come from forests certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), a global non-profit dedicated to responsible forest management. Their certification ensures that timber and other forest products are sourced sustainably, protecting biodiversity, supporting fair labour practices, and maintaining long-term ecological health.
For the interior fit-out and bespoke joinery industry, FSC certification provides assurance that materials come from responsibly managed forests. It’s built on 10 Principles and over 70 Criteria, addressing key areas such as forest conservation, indigenous rights, and fair working conditions.

The Benefits of FSC Certification for Commercial Interiors
Let’s explore the key benefits of FSC certification for commercial interiors.
1. Improving Brand Reputation
Using FSC-certified products reinforces a company’s commitment to sustainability and enhances its credibility. A company’s premises should reflect its brand identity, regardless of whether it’s a public-facing restaurant or a private office for employees. Choosing FSC-certified materials reassures clients, employees, and stakeholders that the company is actively minimising its environmental footprint, building trust, and strengthening relationships.
2. Achieving sustainability Goals
Partnering with an FSC-certified interior fit-out contractor can be a valuable move for businesses working towards specific ESG goals or B Corp certification. Using sustainably sourced timber contributes to BREEAM certification, earning credits for responsible sourcing and reduced environmental impact.
3. Creating an Inspiring Space
A well-designed, sustainable interior can also boost employee morale and provide a welcoming environment for visitors. When people know where the materials used come from, they can enjoy the space even more. FSC-certified timber offers a rich variety of colours, textures, and grains, delivering a high-end finish with a lighter environmental footprint. With our network of trusted suppliers and industry expertise, we help clients balance stunning design with sustainability.
