RoyOMartin, Since 1923

RoyOMartin’s timberlands have been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council™ (FSC^®) since 2002, being one of the first in the South. This certification verifies that our management practices are consistent with the tenets of FSC^® in regard to social, environmental, ecological, and economic responsibilities. In 2010 alone, RoyOMartin foresters planted 11 million seedlings across 21,000 acres in Louisiana.

RoyOMartin encourages and promotes environmental responsibility throughout our plants and operations. Through corporate-wide policies, our commitment to the environment stretches from our facilities to our local communities. We recognize that, as responsible corporate partners, we must maintain sound environmental practices. Furthermore, we also recognize the importance of providing environmentally responsible building products to our customers, increasing efficiencies for the end user.

RoyOMartin's mills are measured on their ability to utilize all available wood residuals as part of the corporate environmental plan. Our timberlands provide the capability of producing and supplying our manufacturing facilities with a substantial amount of energy by utilizing excess manufacturing byproducts, while reducing our carbon footprint in addition to supplying our own energy needs. RoyOMartin sells excess wood residuals to other local firms to help them meet their renewable energy needs.
