SUSTAINABILITY<br />

Eco-label Documentation on the basis of European<br />

or international standardisation is not always<br />

economic in craftsmanship. Therefore – modelled<br />

after EMAS and DIN ISO 14001 – Brandenburg has<br />

established a reasonable system that is accommodated<br />

to the size of enterprises. This system comprises<br />

the awarding of the “Brandenburger Umweltsiegel<br />

im Handwerk” (Brandenburg‘s eco-label<br />

in craftsmanship), which is based on a successful<br />

checking of the environmental management system.<br />

This eco-label represents an evaluation of<br />

the business‘s environmental<br />

situation. The<br />

objective of the “Umweltsiegel”<br />

is to implement<br />

components<br />

of an environmental<br />

management system in<br />

a cost and time saving<br />

manner. The system is<br />

implemented through<br />

an accommodated and simple objective-orientated<br />

procedure without any loss of quality compared<br />

to other environmental<br />

management systems.<br />

SIK-Holz ® was checked successfully<br />

for its environmental<br />

situation and was awarded<br />

the “Brandenburger<br />

Umweltsiegel im Handwerk”<br />

by the Potsdam Chamber of<br />

Crafts and Trades and the<br />

Brandenburg Ministry of Environment,<br />

Health and Consumer<br />

FSC One of the most important, worldwide operating<br />

organisations that have dealt with the sustainable<br />

development of forests for a long time<br />

is the FSC. of the Forest Stewardship Council is the<br />

preservation of forests. The FSC wants to achieve<br />

this objective not only by the protection of forests<br />

by law, but also by promoting a responsible<br />

forestry. Strict criteria guide the management of<br />

forests to avoid uncontrolled deforestation, the<br />

violation of human rights and environmental pollution.<br />

. FSC policies require that the entire processing<br />

and trade chain<br />

from forest to wholesaler<br />

has to be certified<br />

completely. In the<br />

course of certification,<br />

incoming and outgoing<br />

goods as well as production<br />

processes are<br />

checked once a year by<br />

an independent third<br />

party. As a certified company SIK-Holz ® can mark<br />

FSC play equipment with the FSC label. You too<br />

can contribute to the<br />

preservation of forests<br />

by conscientious buying.<br />

Also when you<br />

buy play equipment<br />

pay attention to the<br />

FSC label.
