Environmental Statement
At Richmond International Forest Products (RIFP), we take pride in trading one of the world’s most sustainable resources—wood. Unlike traditional manufacturing facilities, forests naturally purify the air, provide vital wildlife habitats, and regenerate over time. Timber not only captures and stores CO2 but also requires significantly less energy to process than other building materials, reducing environmental impact.
As a leader in the wholesale lumber industry, we are committed to promoting sustainable forestry, conserving natural resources, and supporting eco-friendly building practices. Wood is the only all-natural, biodegradable, and renewable resource that continues to shape the future of residential and commercial construction, furniture, and beyond. By prioritizing sustainability today, we help build a greener world for future generations.
