Timber Sourcing Statement

Our Commitment

Real wood lies at the heart of our business. We craft all our furniture from solid hardwood and take great care to ensure we source this wood legally and responsibly. By sourcing timber responsibly, we positively impact forests and the communities that depend on them.

Our Sourcing

We trace the wood in your furniture back to its origins. Each piece of our furniture comes from suppliers who uphold ethical practices with complete transparency. Additionally, our sourcing team regularly visits our suppliers’ factories and, at times, the forests, plantations, or farms themselves. They confirm that the timber used in our products is the exact species and from the stated place of origin.

Moreover, we do not source timber for any of our products if it:

• Comes from illegal harvests;
• Violates traditional and human rights;
• Threatens high conservation values in forests due to management activities;
• Is harvested from forests being converted to plantations or non-forest use.

Furthermore, we ensure our furniture fully complies with UK and EU Timber Regulations.

Where Does Our Wood Come From?

We source our wood from around the world. For instance, our wood comes from China. Similarly, our Teak wood comes from Indonesia, our acacia comes from Vietnam, and our mango wood comes from India.

How Do We Trace the Wood?

Our suppliers must disclose the entire timber supply chain as part of the terms and conditions of trading with Yumen Global Furniture. This includes the forests where the trees are harvested and the sawmills used to process the wood. In addition, we verify the information our suppliers provide. Furthermore, suppliers provide documentation with each shipment detailing all the timber used.

Finally, we fumigate our furniture before shipping to ensure safety. Consequently, we include a fumigation certificate with each shipment.
