The Climate Smart Wood Group is dedicated to helping the North American building industry procure wood products – including mass timber and other products – that are Climate Smart.

Our procurement technical team has developed tools and guidance to assist building sector leaders in sourcing climate-smart wood.

Guidance includes foundational steps for Traceability & Transparency in wood sourcing; best practice recommendations for success at each major Project Stage; and three Procurement Options alongside the critical supporting information that owners, designers and contractors need to deliver trustworthy, measurable climate-smart outcomes.
