Sustainability
As a major lumber supplier, Premier Building Supply is proudly committed to using only sustainably procured lumber. We believe that it is important to protect our forests and ensure that they are managed in a sustainable way for future generations. That’s why we only source our lumber from certified sustainable forests that are managed in a way that protects the environment and the communities that depend on them. They are not clear-cut, and they leave enough trees standing to ensure that the forest can regenerate naturally – protecting wildlife habitat and water quality. We are proud to do our part to protect our forests and ensure that they are managed in a sustainable way.
