Sustainability

We are committed to working together with our supply chain for meaningful change.

You can be assured that Canadia shares the vision of implementing sustainable forest management practices around the world. Our name originates from Canada, home to 10% of the world’s forests, and Canada takes sustainability seriously. In more recent times, we have reduced our carbon footprint by sourcing similar products from European producers.

Our strapline ‘Nature’s Floor’ sums up the essence of our brand – we recognise the growing demand for environmental solutions both from our clients and our deep-rooted commitment to our employees and our collective social responsibility. Our symbol of the end grain, the grain of wood seen when it is cut across the growth rings, symbolises the genuine natural beauty of our products.

We are proudly certified to the FSC and PEFC chain of custody standards signifying  our dedication to meeting highest standards in Good Forest management. 

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) is a global, not-for-profit organisation dedicated to the promotion of responsible forest management worldwide.  FSC defines standards based on agreed principles for responsible forest stewardship that are supported by environmental, social and economic stakeholders.  

Our company has PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) Chain of Custody Certification. The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification is an international non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting Sustainable Forest Management through independent third-party certification.
