WWW.HBDONLINE.CO.UK Helping the industry to help the environment
Simon Woods, European Sales, Marketing and Logistics Director explains how West Fraser is helping the construction industry to help the environment: As the world becomes more and more aware of the effect it has on the planet, it is important for the construction industry to realise how it affects the world
in ways it doesn’t intend to. At West Fraser, their products are net carbon negative. This means that they lock up more carbon in the products than they emit in the end-to-end production and distribution of them (delivery to their customers’ gates). Attaining net carbon negativity, as West Fraser have done, is a significant step and demonstrates the company’s determi- nation to be a market leader in sustainable, climate-friendly products.
