How the Scheme Operates

The Label Scheme is operated by a consortium of organisations representing businesses producing goods with a significant component of materials derived from Scottish woodlands. These include the Association of Scottish hardwood Sawmillers and the Scottish Furniture Makers Association.

Only members of one of these participating associations are eligible to join the Label Scheme, to help ensure that members are helped and encouraged to follow the rules and expand the range of products which can be labelled.

Once a company has joined the Label Scheme, it can use the label on publicity material and to identify those products which meet the label criteria. Any company may also make products which do not carry the label because they do not meet the criteria (eg if they do not contain a high enough proportion of Scottish material).

If a business misuses the label, it will be required to correct this imediately, or its licence to use the label can be withdrawn.

A full list of Label Scheme members is contained in this website. If you see anyone selling goods carrying the label who is not on the list, please contact the Scheme by email (see contact page).

If you are a producer and would like to use the label, please email Scottish Working Woods.
