A Commitment to Environmental Responsibility

FERMA is fully committed to a safer and healthier environment through selective raw materials procurement, sound manufacturing processes and thoughtful product development. Our ecologically responsible forest management practices and efficient manufacturing techniques, certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), are helping to ensure a greener and healthier world for future generations.

  • Our hardwood flooring is manufactured only from timber that is selectively harvested and inspected under sustainable forest management practices and in full compliance with the Lacey Act
  • FSC Chain of Custody certification has been obtained received by our hardwood flooring manufacturers resulting in the production of FSC certified products
  • FSC Chain of Custody certification has also been secured by our bamboo flooring manufacturers to produce FSC certified bamboo products
  • Our engineered flooring meets the formaldehyde emission guidelines set by the California Air Resource Board (CARB) for indoor air quality
  • Our engineered flooring also may help to contribute points towards LEED® (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) certification as awarded by the U.S. Green Building Council
  • Certain wood species, such as Red Oak, American Walnut, American Walnut, American Maple and Bamboo are available for truly green engineered flooring by combining FSC and CARB certified plywood
  • Our laminate flooring also features many inherent environmental friendly advantages. Its high density fiber board (HDF) meets E0 or CARB standards in the emission of formaldehyde. More new eco-friendly products, such as cork flooring, will be available soon.
