Environmental Conscience

In todays global market our buying power goes well beyond the product purchased. What we buy acts as a vote for countrys political and environmental policies. Diamond Tropical Hardwoods is an exemplary model of how companies can provide a superior product at affordable prices, while also enriching the environment and culture of the people. This Pennsylvania based company has taken a long-term view by planting the best variety of teak and several other exotic trees in the world for furniture manufacturers, designers and hobbyists.

Kevin Yardley's commitment to the environment also extends to the local community in Costa Rica. His enterprise supports the local school with midday meals, desks, and materials for repairs and maintenance. Kevin states: "Strong school serve everyone. The children of the people we work with will be our accountants, lawyers, and doctors." In addition all of the bridges between the Province of San Jose and the main road in the Province of Puntarenas have been built with the generosity of the entrepreneur. The fact that the employees in Diamond Tropical Hardwoods are treated like family members is evidenced in the amazing quality of their teak furniture and organic tree cultivation.
