Environmental Responsibility & Certifications
Associated Traders is committed to sustainable sourcing, rigorous quality management, and responsible stewardship of forest resources for future generations.
Sustainability — Working Towards a Sustainable Forest Future
We source Indian timbers from suppliers who consider environmental sustainability a primary factor in all current and future operations. Our procurement prioritises responsibly managed forests and suppliers that adhere to internationally recognised standards.
Through careful vendor selection and ongoing supplier engagement, we aim to support forest regeneration, biodiversity and responsible harvesting practices that protect local communities and ecosystems.
Quality Management
Our quality manual and procedures are prepared and maintained by management and section leads. This documentation — including company specifications, quality plans and process flow charts — drives consistent, repeatable manufacturing and thorough record keeping.
Quality checks are integrated across production stages to ensure that every product leaving our factory meets specification and customer expectations.
Wood Solutions & Innovation
We follow international case studies and best practices that showcase timber’s natural, architectural and environmental benefits. These insights inform our product development and encourage innovative uses of timber across a wide range of applications.
By combining traditional craftsmanship with modern processing, we deliver timber solutions that are both beautiful and environmentally conscious.
Responsible Sourcing & Sustainability Commitment
Associated Traders is committed to responsible sourcing practices that support long-term forest health and environmental stewardship. We work closely with suppliers who follow sustainable harvesting principles and recognised environmental best practices within the timber industry.
While formal third-party certifications are periodically reviewed and renewed, our internal sourcing standards continue to prioritise traceability, legality of origin, and environmentally responsible procurement.
Our focus remains on ethical operations, efficient material utilisation, and supporting supply partners who demonstrate commitment to sustainable forestry and responsible manufacturing.
