In the production process, FORE strives to choose sustainably managed wood or materials with environmental certifications, such as FSC-certified wood or other internationally recognized sustainable development standards. Through this practice, FORE demonstrates its concern for forest resources and ecosystems, supporting sustainable forestry management and reducing illegal logging and destructive forestry activities. This helps protect biodiversity in ecosystems, promotes the responsible use of wood, and reduces dependence on natural resources.

Moreover, the use of environmentally certified materials can establish an eco-friendly image for the company, attracting consumers who prioritize environmental and sustainable practices. This aligns with the growing market demand for eco-friendly products and corporate social responsibility, contributing to enhancing the brand's reputation and competitiveness. By selecting sustainably managed wood and environmentally certified materials, FORE showcases its commitment to environmental protection and sustainable development, actively contributing to the industry's sustainability.

FORE is also committed to the sustainable development of leather materials. We strive to choose renewable leather materials, such as those produced by sustainably managed farms, to reduce the impact on the natural environment and promote agricultural sustainability. In the tanning process, we employ environmentally friendly methods to minimize pollution of water resources and soil, with a particular emphasis on using plant-based tanning agents rather than chemicals. Additionally, we select leather that holds environmental certifications, such as compliance with standards like Bluesign®, ensuring our products meet high levels of environmental sustainability throughout the production process. This series of practices not only demonstrates our commitment to environmental protection but also ensures that our leather products adhere to stringent sustainable development standards.
