Anderson, Mullican Piloting NWFA Green Program

St. Louis, MO, Aug. 4, 2009--The National Wood Flooring Association has announced that two US wood flooring manufacturers have begun the audit process to become certified under the NWFA’s Responsible Procurement Program for Hardwood (RPPH).

Anderson Hardwood Floors in Clinton, S.C. and Mullican Flooring in Johnson City, Tenn., currently are participating in pilot programs to test the audit phase of the RPPH.

The audits are being conducted by Scientific Certification Systems (SCS), a leading third-party provider of certification, auditing and testing services.  SCS is an accredited certifier with the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), which is recognized in the US as setting the highest standard of environmental and social performance in the forest products industry.

SCS will work with both Anderson and Mullican to design, develop and test the audit process for the NWFA RPPH.

The program is supported by the Forest Stewardship Council-US and the FSC Family Forests Alliance, which recognize the NWFA RPP as a valid incremental approach toward socially and environmentally responsible forestry.
