UK builders' merchant Travis Perkins will no longer buy 'conflict timber' from Russia and Belarus because of the war in Ukraine.
In March, the PEFC and FSC International certification organizations decided to revoke trade certificates for all products made from Russian wood, which was now considered 'conflict timber'.
A spokesman for Travis Perkins, which owns the retailer Toolstation, said to Daily Mail: 'We work with our suppliers to make sure the timber we purchase comes from certified Forest Stewardship Council or Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification sources, and we have ensured that we have made no purchases of anything designated as conflict timber.'
