Sauna Works is one of the ONLY manufacturers of far infrared saunas with certifications from the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), the Sustainable Forestry Initiative (SFI), and the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).
“Being FSC certified shows that you comply with the highest social and environmental standards on the market. As public concerns about the state of the world’s forests and timber resources increases, FSC provides you with a credible solution to complex environmental and social issues.”

“The PEFC provides an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests.”

“[SFI’s] forest certification standard is based on principles that promote sustainable forest management, including measures to protect water quality, biodiversity, wildlife habitat, species at risk, and forests with exceptional conservation value.”

What do these certifications mean?
At Sauna Works, our philosophy for healthy living extends beyond the human body. We believe that by keeping our environment healthy there are less toxins in the air and water meaning less toxins for your body to absorb.

What is Chain-of-Custody?
Not only is your final Clearlight Infrared Sauna an "Eco Certified" product, but our entire process is certified. The FSC, SFI, and PEFC have certified our manufacuring facilities Chain-of-Custody (COC). COC is the path taken by raw materials from an FSC-certified source through processing, manufacturing, distribution, and printing until it is a final product ready for sale to you. So your Clearlight Infrared Sauna is 100% "Eco Certified", from the original tree to your final sauna model.
