In an era where environmental consciousness is paramount, sourcing sustainable materials is a top priority for both artisans and consumers. At balè, we are committed to only using sustainably harvested teak. Our teak is SVLK certified. The SVLK (Sistem Verifikasi Legalitas Kayu) certification guarantees the legality and sustainability of its timber exports, most importantly teak. This certification also manages sustainable forestry practices while reducing illegal logging and trading. SLVK certification is required by law in order for Indonesian timber (teak) to be exported in most countries.
