"To help protect endangered forests and support efforts to preserve timber for future generations, we established a Wood Purchasing Policy in 1999 and continue to update it. [...] Eliminate the purchase of wood and wood products from forest regions identified as endangered. [...] avoid wood products coming form a forestland with a high conservation value"

"The Home Depot will give preference to the purchase of wood and wood products originating from certified well-managed forests wherever feasible. The Home Depot will eliminate the purchase of wood and wood products from endangered regions around the world [...] The Home Depot does not accept wood from the Amazon or Congo Basin areas, Papua New Guinea or the Solomon Islands unless Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) certified (enforcement date September 2018)."

"To fulfill the pledge, it was necessary to trace the origin of each and every wood product on our shelves. Afteryears of research, we now know item by item - from lumber to broom handles, doors to molding and paneling toplywood - where our wood products are harvested [...] We sell less than 1% of all the wood cut worldwide with 94% coming from North America."

"Implementing the policy meant making minor changes to our wood supply chain and rewarding companies that practice responsible forestry. Since initiating our policy in 1999 and continuing through 2020 we have maintained approximately the same ratio in wood purchasing volume by country. In 2007 and 2008 we shifted additional wood purchases out of Malaysia, Russia and Papua New Guinea to areas of more sustainability and certified forests. In addition, we have: • Replaced carpenter pencils with FSC certified pencils • Worked with our vendors to shift more than 80% of our lauan wood used in the production of doors to wood from more sustainable sources • Replaced mahogany levels with domestically engineered wood • Reduced our purchases of Indonesian lauan by more than 70%. The minimal amount of lauan purchases that remain in Indonesia are strategically placed with vendors that are aggressively pursuing certification, and have been engaged in third-party audits • Moved more than 90% of our cedar purchases to second- and third-growth forests in the United States. The remaining cedar purchases are sourced from coastal British Columbia and have been through the local community stakeholder review. In addition, our vendors are participating in the Joint Solutions Process negotiations • Significantly increased our FSC certified redwood. Our two primary suppliers of redwood both give a strong purchasing preference for FSC certified wood and we will continue to exercise a preference for certified redwood • Committed to not purchase uncertified wood products sourced from the 10 most vulnerable forest ecoregions as identified by the World Wildlife Fund in February 2001."

"To fulfill the pledge, it was necessary to trace the origin of almost all of the wood products on our shelves. After years of research, we have a good insight into lumber to broom handles, doors to molding and paneling to plywood- where our wood products are harvested. [...] We sell less than 1% of all the wood cut worldwide. Approximately 94% of our wood comes from North America"
