Hattori Stores' Commitment to Timber Procurement and Legality
Pride as a FIPC Certified Business
Hattori Stores has obtained FIPC certification as a legal timber supplier.
This is a testament to being officially recognized as a 'reliable business operator with verified legality' in the procurement of timber and wood products.
- Certification Number: 261402 (Update 6)
- Certifying Body: General Incorporated Association of Wood Labeling Promotion Council
- Validity Period: November 4, 2023 - November 3, 2026
This certification is predicated not only on past performance and management systems but also on the continued procurement of timber with integrity.
Why 'Legal Timber' is Important Now
Globally, deforestation due to illegal logging has become a significant environmental issue. In Japan as well, an era has dawned where 'proof of legality' is required for timber used in construction and products, based on international standards.
The use of legally sourced materials is becoming mandatory in public buildings.
In an era where corporate activities based on the SDGs are under scrutiny, the provenance of timber has become a critical criterion for evaluation.
Hattori Store's Procurement Philosophy
"Select with the eyes, procure with responsibility"
The photograph below depicts the president personally selecting materials at the competitive auction held by the Shinshu Kiso Kanmatsu Cooperative Association.
We engage with each tree individually, not through words, but through sight and sensation, to receive what the 'wood speaks.'
This is the origin of procurement at Hattori Shouten.
