Sustainability

Here at South Seas Native Treasures, we are committed to keeping the Philippines a lush and sustainable place for the present and future generations.

When it comes to our company’s environmental impact, we strive to maintain and achieve sustainable forestry practices. At South Seas Native Treasures, we define the practice of sustainable forestry as meeting the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. Our company has been able to achieve and sustain this practice in a few ways.

First, all of our wood is ecologically forested from private lands and is certified by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Second, we always encourage the forest landowners we source our wood from to reforest following harvests and use the best land management practices.

Lastly, we have continued, now for the third year, our “Plant a Tree” program. We are so grateful for our corporate sponsors who joined us in our tree planting efforts this year through their generous donations and support. With their help, we were able to work in conjunction with the DENR and plant a number of trees in the mountains of Laguna, Philippines.

As corporate social responsibility is a cornerstone for our company’s culture, we hope to be able to continue the Plant a Tree program and our commitment to the conservation and protection of our environment. We are confident and hopeful that our efforts will have a lasting positive impact on the community for years to come.
