Sustainability – Leaving Green
Footprints
We are dedicated to reducing our ecological impact on the earth
by using only sustainable timber for our exquisite products.
The term ‘sustainable timber’ means that the tree harvested to
make your beautiful, handcrafted Mahogany door will be replaced
with another tree. Where one is taken away, another is planted.
This way, the forest maintains its ecological function so it may
continue to promote future seed growth, biodiversity, climate
and water cycles.
Using sustainable timber also means
using local people to work in the forests harvesting and
replacing the Honduran and Royal Mahogany trees.
Borano is proud to only work with
suppliers that have achieved SmartWoodcm
Certification, to promote the Forest Stewardship Council’s rules
for well-managed forests. We require suppliers to provide
documentation showing compliance with both the international and
Honduran environmental management standards.
The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC),
aims to ensure wood is harvested in a sustainable and
responsible manner. With its multi-stakeholder approach, it
sets the global standard for responsible forestry. The
Rainforest Alliance is accredited by the FSC, which was
established in 1993.
