Code of Conduct
IN ORDER TO DEMONSTRATE A COMMITMENT TO THE HIGHEST STANDARDS OF PRODUCT QUALITY AND SUSTAINABILITY TO THEIR CUSTOMERS, ALL OF OUR MEMBERS MUST FOLLOW THE TTF CODE OF CONDUCT.

Home > About Us > Code of Conduct

The TTF acts as the guardian of timber product standards, quality, sustainability and legal compliance. Our members are often first placers in the market. As such, they have a duty of care to their downstream customers in the supply chain.

 

All members sign up to the TTF Code of Conduct, meaning that they are committed to ensuring all the products they sell are fit for purpose, are high quality and in compliance with the latest national and international market standards and regulations.

 

Buying from a TTF Member means buying timber you can trust.

Policy & Market Advice

We offer advice and in-depth information sheets on UK and international timber policies, political developments and market intelligence.

 

This is free for all Members.

Supply Chain Management

We have developed a number of risk management tools and information services to support the implementation of responsible purchasing policies and codes of conduct. We can review a company’s current sourcing activities and support the implementation of a comprehensive procurement policy.  This includes both internal training for staff and external communication material to suppliers and customers.

 

This is free for all Members.

Responsible Forest Management & Procurement

We can support your responsible forest management and development strategy by providing expert advice. This enables suppliers to implement gradual ‘step-wise’ programmes to purchase timber from verified legal and sustainable sources.

 

Member discounts are available.

Environmental & Quality Management

We have an enormous amount of expertise in implementing ISO process standards, such as ISO 14001 Environment, ISO 9001 Quality, OHSAS 18001 Health & Safety.

Chain of Custody Certification

We offer support and tools for the implementation of essential Chain of Custody standards, such as FSC and the PEFC. We can also clarify any issues you may have surrounding the EUTR.  We have a group Chain of Custody scheme for smaller members.

Training

We provide a wide range of training services and packages on implementing a responsible purchasing policy, and further relevant industry standards. We offer bespoke training courses for buyers and suppliers of timber products.
