The respect for nature and environmental protection are important issues for RADISA . Thus, RADISA´s policy is to buy wood adhering to the laws and rules as they relate to the import of woods as well as sustainable forest management. Moreover, we have obtained Chain-of-Custody certification from PEFC as well as FSC and continue to operate under their norms and requirements. The applicability of the certification extends to timber, veneers, doors, flooring, and boards.

In order to comply with the new Appendix 7 of the PEFC system as well as FSC-CoC-40-004/005, Radisa will not purchase product from suppliers suspected of not conforming to sustainable forest management practices. Radisa also works within the guidelines identified below to further promote better environmental protection practices:
As exposed last year, AEIM established the “Good Environmental Practices Code” and Radisa, as a member, adheres to this code.
As a member of CONFEMADERA, RADISA supports the Woodworking Sector's Environmental Strategy.
