Conner serves as a link between our forest products suppliers and our customers and we believe that
environmental responsibility must be practiced throughout the life cycle of all wood products.
From the time a plantation tree is planted to the point at which a consumer product is delivered in a
wooden crate or on a wooden pallet, we want to know that the trip has been environmentally sound.
Although we do not own forestland, we demand strong environmental practices from our suppliers.
Conner Industries recognizes third party certification programs that monitor the forest products industry
such as the Forest Stewardship Council, the Sustainable Forestry Initiative
and the International Standards Organization (ISO 14004).
Total fiber utilization is the foundation of our internal environmental effort.
Conner takes wood products that would be destined for low value end use
and turn them into valuable packaging and crating components.
Waste is not an option; every piece of wood is used.
If Conner cannot produce a value added product out of even the smallest byproduct,
we grind it into fuel used in co-generation.
