FOREST MANAGEMENT

Background and Strategy
As the world’s largest hardwood flooring company, Armstrong has a vested interest in protecting the forests where our raw materials originate.  Armstrong’s forest management strategy requires we protect the communities and environments where we extract, process and manufacture wood and wood products.

Armstrong’s Responsible Forest Management Policy Requires:
• Efficient use of wood and wood products.
• Programs to support the company’s Exotic Wood Purchasing Policy.
• Verification that no species on the CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora) list are used in any product.
• Training and outreach programs on sustainable forest management practices.
• A transparent program subject to internal auditing and independent verification.
