Sustainability
Responsible Sourcing
We treat sustainability as operational discipline: design for reuse, verify sources, and measure what matters so customers get reliable, compliant packaging with a lighter carbon footprint.
Since 2021, Yat Guan been offering PEFC-certified timber options for new builds and replacements and maintain chain-of-custody separation where specified.
Chain of custody you can trust
PEFC-certified timber is controlled through physical segregation or quantity-based stock control, helping protect claim integrity throughout production and supporting responsible timber sourcing for customers with sustainability and compliance requirements. Where required, delivery notes and invoices can include the relevant PEFC claim and certificate reference for a clear audit trail.
For procurement, operations, and compliance teams sourcing wooden pallets, timber packaging, or export-ready packing materials, we can provide a clear summary of species and origin where available, product specifications, quantities, and PEFC status. Mixed orders containing both certified and non-certified timber products can be supplied within the same purchase order, with each line clearly identified for accurate booking, reporting, and internal control.
We follow PEFC trademark rules for all logo and label usage, and we verify any product or packaging artwork before issue. Where more complex situations arise, including mixed-species wooden pallets, recycled timber content, approved substitutions, or urgent material swaps, these are documented clearly so your sustainability records, sourcing documentation, and audit requirements remain accurate and up to date.
Our commitment to you
We make it simple for audits by including claim and certificate details in the delivery paperwork for orders that use, or contain PEFC chain-of-custody timber.
