B&Q has gained a chain-of-custody certification for both Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) schemes. The award follows a strict audit of B&Q's procurement and handling of certified wood products by the SmartWood programme of the Rainforest Alliance. Diarmuid Walsh, director of building and decorative for B&Q, said: "Sustainabil-ity has always been hugely important to us and we are delighted to see that our efforts to gain the certification have paid off. We are passionate about using responsibly sourced materials wherever possible and I am pleased we can now make the promise that the wood our customers purchase at B&Q has been sourced from well-managed forests."
