Anderson Gets First NWFA RPP Certification

St. Louis, MO, Nov. 18, 2009--The National Wood Flooring Association said that Anderson Hardwood Floors has become the first company to be certified under the NWFA’s Responsible Procurement Program.

Anderson began the audit process, conducted by Scientific Certification Systems, in August

The NWFA established the RPP to recognize wood flooring companies that work to sustain the world’s forest.  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.

The program is transitional to higher levels of environmental responsibility based on three tiers of increasing voluntary participation and associated certification.  Anderson was certified in both Tier One and in Tier Two of the program.
