Movement Skis has been recognized by 2 international forest
conservation organizations for the use of sustainable forest products in the
manufacturing of its 2007/08 ski collection. This season, Movements
all-wood-based product line is derived from selected round timber like Okume,
Karuba, and Poplar – all originating from certified sustainable forests endorsed
by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) and the Programme for the Endorsement of
Forest Certification (PEFC). These global watchdog organizations provide an
assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood products that they are promoting the
sustainable management of the worlds forests.
“Skiing is an iconic
image of our times and we have chosen a non-conventional manufacturing path. But
our decision to use certified woods is not only a benefit to the biodiversity of
nature and the environment, we see it supporting the economic viability and
sustainability of the ski industry,” said Jayson Faulkner, from Movement.
“From a skiers perspective, these certifications represent a promise
by Movement,” added Faulkner. “Not only does this label allow consumers
worldwide to recognize they own a responsibly made product, but it acts as a
future 'promise' to be delivered in continued powder days, more tree runs, and
epic ski tales,” he added.
