BuildDirect is commited to sustainable forest management. It promotes efforts to achieve the fastest practicable progress towards environmentally sound permanent forest management worldwide.
BuildDirect has a clear environmental policy and a clear environmental purchasing policy for wood and wood products. The environmental policy is based on two founding principles: Forests, forest functions and products, including woods, contribute to human well being worldwide. Every country, must value its forests and strive for equity in access to the benefits which forests provide. The ultimate responsibility for forest policy lies with the sovereign Government and people of individual forested countries. They have the task of balancing environmental, economic, social and political needs. Nevertheless, BuildDirect believes that the timber industry has a responsibility to its customers, suppliers and staff to base its commercial activities on properly managed forests. In acknowledging these principles:
BuildDirect is committed to sustainable forest management. It promotes efforts to achieve the fastest practicable progress towards environmentally sound permanent forest management worldwide.
BuildDirect supports responsible domestic and international efforts which focus attention on the various threats to the world's productive forests.
BuildDirect encourages the use of wood as an environmentally acceptable and renewable material and is constantly seeking beneficial ways to reduce wood waste and to utilize residues. In relation to tropical forests BuildDirect asks suppliers to show evidence that they and their respective Governments are undertaking practical measures to implement the ITTO Objective 2000; and urges the U.S. Government to maintain and increase aid and other positive assistance to those tropical countries which are endeavoring to implement the ITTO "Guidelines for the Sustainable Management of Natural Tropical Forests."
BuildDirect expects to review and extend this policy as deemed necessary.
BuildDirect will seek the clearest practical information regarding product sources. At a minimum, this will include country of origin.
BuildDirect will also seek evidence of good practice and forest management from all suppliers of wood products. Labels or certificates warranting sustainability will not be acceptable unless they have the approval of the Forestry Department/Ministry of source countries which have established comprehensive national forestry action plans, or until such time as an internationally acceptable criteria for sustainability is established by a recognized authority.
BuildDirect will give preference to suppliers of all wood products from sources providing information on good silviculture and logging practices, and which are operating within the forestry laws of the country concerned. Specifically with respect to tropical wood products, BuildDirect will give preference to purchases from countries demonstrating commitment to, and the implementation of, Objective 2000 and implementation of "Guidelines for the Sustainable Management of Natural Tropical Forests," of the International Tropical Timber Organization (ITTO).
BuildDirect subscribes to the evolution of more efficient use of the forest resources and the wood derived from them. In this respect we support concepts of using a wider variety of species when silviculturally and ecologically appropriate and making greater economic and practical use of raw material including residues and waste.
BuildDirect expects to review and extend this policy as deemed necessary.
On May 22, 2008, the U.S. Congress passed a law banning commerce in illegally sourced plants and their products – including timber and wood products. The new law is an amendment to a 100-year old statute, named the Lacey Act after the Congressman who first championed it.
The Lacey Act prohibits all trade in plant and plant products (e.g. furniture, flooring, paper or lumber) that are illegally sourced from any U.S. state or any foreign country.
BuildDirect only deals with suppliers that are 100% compliant with the Lacey Act.
We exercise due diligence in selecting our suppliers of wood products, ensuring that our suppliers are aligned with our Environmental Policy for Wood. And we exercise significant due care in purchasing wood products from our wood suppliers in accordance with our Purchasing Policy for Wood & Wood Products.
To this end, BuildDirect has adopted the due diligence practices for legal wood sourcing developed by the International Wood Products Association Due Diligence Task Force.

Neither BuildDirect, any Supplier nor any agents or contractors thereof will be responsible for a failure to fulfill any obligations of such parties under these Terms of Sale or for any delay in satisfaction of such obligations nor for any damages of any kind in law or equity that You may suffer as a result of such failure or delay, if such failure or delay is due to circumstances beyond BuildDirect’s, a Supplier’s or their agents’ or contractors’ control including but not limited to any act of God or public enemy, acts of government, riots, strikes, quarantines, accidents, or the inherent nature or vice of goods transportation.
The failure by BuildDirect to insist on strict compliance with any provision of these Terms of Sale will not be deemed to be a waiver of such provision or any rights or remedies of BuildDirect under these Terms of Sale. Further no waiver by BuildDirect of a breach of these Terms of Sale by You shall constitute a waiver of any other breach, whether of the same or any other covenant, term or condition. The subsequent acceptance by BuildDirect of any breach of a covenant, term or condition by You shall not constitute a waiver of BuildDirect’s right to require performance by You at any time thereafter.
These Terms of Sale and any other written materials incorporated by reference herein will be (i) deemed for all purposes to be a “writing” or “in writing” and to comply with all statutory, contractual and other legal requirements for a writing; (ii) legally enforceable as a signed writing as against the parties hereto; and (iii) deemed an “original” when printed from electronic records established and maintained in the ordinary course of business.
Electronic documents introduced as evidence in any judicial, arbitration, mediation or other proceeding will, if established and maintained in the ordinary course of business, be admissible to the same extent as business records in written form that are similarly established and maintained.
These Terms of Sale shall be deemed severable. In the event that any provision is determined to be unenforceable or invalid, such provision shall nonetheless be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, and such determination shall not affect the validity and enforceability of any other remaining provisions.
