The Briggs Group is committed to the responsible use of the world’s resources. We are proud to have pioneered the use of Australian sustainable hardwoods for veneer, harvested in accordance with passing the strict environmental guidelines that are required by Government. By law, Australian State Forest land cannot be permanently cleared; it must always be replanted or regenerated.
We offer our customers over 200 different types of quality veneer products and MDF made from wood sourced from sustainably managed forests and wood-lots in the US, Canada, Europe/the EU, Australia, New Zealand and Japan. Sustainable harvest means that the amount of timber that grows back each year is greater than, or equal to, the amount harvested. Furthermore, such forests are managed in accordance with strict laws and regulations to protect biodiversity, endangered species, water quality and other environmental values.

Additionally, all the Australian veneer that we get sliced, and all the veneer that we import, is checked under our Due Diligence program as being legally harvested.
Briggs offers a large number of veneers and MDF panels that are independently certified to be from well-managed forests and controlled sources under the FSC® and PEFC forest management schemes, including the eco-cert range of FSC® and PEFC certified veneers, the FSC® certified Woodstock/ecoligna and TrueGrain veneers and our PEFC certified FLAMEBLOCK and BLACK MDF.
