Our Sourcing Policy

We prioritise supply from sources known to be legal, ethical, and well managed. As members of the wider ITI Group, we strengthen our global partnerships while maintaining a strong focus on quality, service, and environmental accountability.
Our range includes both hardwood and softwood species sourced from North America, South America, Europe, Africa, South East Asia, Australia, and New Zealand.
As an environmentally conscious organization, ITI NZ is committed to continuously sourcing and supplying socially and environmentally sustainable timber and building products to the New Zealand market. We will continue to innovate, grow, and deliver the best possible solutions while maintaining our commitment to sustainability and responsible sourcing.
Why Buy Certified Timber?
The primary objective for third party environmental certification bodies is to prevent deforestation. They achieve this by auditing forest operations to a prescribed set of standards that ensure sustainable, fair, and safe employment opportunities for local communities where the timber is sourced.
Without such practices, local populations may resort to destructive activities such as illegal logging, slash and burn agriculture, or unregulated mining, methods that harm the environment and often disregard indigenous land rights and safety standards.
By promoting sustainable and responsible forestry, certified timber operations help preserve ecosystems while supporting fair and ethical employment.
