Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS)

The Timber Legality Assurance System (TLAS) is a framework designed to ensure that timber and timber products are sourced from legal and sustainable sources. It involves verifying that the harvesting, processing, and trade of timber comply with local laws and regulations. TLAS aims to combat illegal logging, promote sustainable forest management, and enhance transparency in the timber supply chain. By adhering to TLAS standards, businesses can demonstrate their commitment to responsible practices, helping to protect forests and support local communities while ensuring consumers can trust that the products they purchase are legally sourced.
