Responsible Sourcing

TODD DOORS LTD RESPONSIBLE PURCHASING POLICY

We are fully committed to sourcing products from sustainable and well managed forests and as such have implemented a robust and well managed due diligence system under the UKTR system which, was originally EUTR that was introduced in 2013. Later becoming UKTR after the UK left the EU.

• It prohibits the placing of illegally harvested timber and products derived from illegally harvested timber on the UK market;
• It requires the “first placer” of timber products on the UK market to exercise due diligence
• It requires traders who deal in timber products after the first placing to keep records enabling basic traceability of supply chains

WHAT DOES THIS MEAN?

It is now illegal within the EU and UK to source any timber products from factories that are not able to prove the origin of their timber.

In other words a factory has to be able to pass Todd Doors’ due diligence process firstly by showing the origin in which the timber was grown and prove that this forest has been certified against an internationally recognised standard for good forest management.

Secondly, the factory must demonstrate that they have actually purchased this timber. Thirdly they need to provide full documentary evidence of the movement of this timber from the forest to their factory and fourthly that the timber they have purchased is precisely what they have used in manufacturing our product.

HOW DO WE DO THIS?

Todd Doors seeks evidence from all factories of the supply chain as described above, which is called due diligence.

This evidence is then updated from all factories on a regular basis to make sure that compliance to this law is consistently maintained. Our Purchasing Department are fully conversant with UKTR and the legalities pertaining to purchasing our products from factories using well managed forests. We do not purchase products, under any circumstances, from factories that cannot or will not prove the origin of their timber.

HOW DOES THIS AFFECT YOU?

Many people are now quite understandably concerned about the origin of the products they are purchasing. You can be whole heartfully confident that when purchasing a door through Todd Doors, this rigorous check has taken place and that all Todd Doors products comply with the UK Timber Regulations.
