Barlinek's participation in environmental
enhancement programs is well documented. Foremost among
their activities is the "One for One" program. For every
package of flooring that Barlinek sells, they plant a sapling
in what is known as the "Customer's Forest." Thus
far they have planted more than a million and half new trees,
and that number is steadily increasing.
In recognition of Barlinek's efforts, the Forest Stewardship
Council (FSC) has issued a certificate verifying that the
company obtains wood in conformity
with forestry management principles. Coinciding with their reforestation
program, Barlinek is also involved with helping wildlife by supporting
the "Program
for the Reintroduction of the Peregrine Falcon." But these are not
the only ways that Barlinek demonstrates their environmental friendliness.
Currently the third largest European flooring manufacturer,
Barlinek management has wisely reinvested the profits of
their growth. Their facilities
utilize
the latest equipment and technologies, and that translates into minimal
waste and air pollution. It also means they produce some of the highest
quality
flooring in the world.
