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 SLVK (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. 

Perum Perhutani which is owned by the Indonesian Ministry of Forestry plays a vital role in overseeing the production and harvest of all teak. They manage all teak forest plantations with agroforestry, guaranteeing biodiversity in the crops and providing economic benefits to the local communities. Perum Perhutani ensures that teak is sustainable and financially beneficial for all Indonesian economies involved in the timber harvest process.
