Principle 1: Compliance with the law
I pledge to comply with all the relevant legislation in the countries where my company operates, and the relevant international treaties and agreements to which these countries are signatories.
Dolphin Bay can provide some shared knowledge based on our industry experience but not direct assistance, as this falls outside our area of expertise.

Principle 2: Meeting quality standards
I pledge to comply with all the standards governing timber treatment in the countries where my company operates and, in cases where this legislation is not yet established or falls short of respected international standards, I pledge to comply with the relevant international standards.
Dolphin Bay will work closely with you on this commitment.

Principle 3: Environmental impact
I pledge to ensure that my timber treatment operations safeguard the environment at every stage, including the establishment of treatment plant(s), the treatment processes, the delivery of treated timber and the disposal of waste. These processes shall comply with the relevant legislation and / or respected international standards, as appropriate.
Dolphin Bay will work closely with you on this commitment.

Principle 4: Operations process
I shall ensure that my company establishes and maintains the recognised process for operating a timber treatment plant, and that the staff will be adequately trained, by a reputable body, to operate the equipment as per the recognised process.
Dolphin Bay will work closely with you on this commitment.

Principle 5: Quality control and monitoring
I shall implement and maintain a recognised record-keeping system to ensure it can be proven that quality products are dispatched from the plant(s). These records will be retained for future reference as needed.
Dolphin Bay will work closely with you on this commitment.

Principle 6: Harvest timber from sustainable forests
I pledge to prioritise the use of timber harvested from sustainable forests, which have certification from the Forest Stewardship Council. This is a high-level commitment which Dolphin Bay cannot assist with.
Dolphin Bay can place you in contact with reputable timber supplies, whenever practical and feasible, to promote the use of FSC-certified timber. We do not specialise in FSC certification ourselves, as this is not part of our area of expertise.
