The outstandingly short wood supply chain from the forest to the construction site was proven and recognised for four buildings in Germany and Austria which had obtained the HOLZ VON HIER© certificate. For other structures, the CO2 performance was evaluated manually in the framework of the CaSCo project (through the Holz von Hier initiative) on the assumption that the data submitted were accurate. Since appropriate documents compliant with the requirements of the Holz von Hier label often cannot be submitted, these buildings cannot acquire Holz von Hier certificates. Several buildings in Slovenia were constructed by the Slovenian National Forest Service using timber from its local forests, ensuring that the transport routes were really short. In Italy some buildings were awarded for their originality. These buildings were made by investors from their own wood. In France the proof of origin for the round wood was issued in Bois des Alps, and the Auvergne RhoneAlpes initiative and the regional initiative guarantee that all the following steps were also carried out in the region.
