PEFC Certified
Certificate Description
The PEFC Certification program provides a mechanism to promote the sustainable management of forests and ensures that forest-based products reaching the marketplace have been sourced from sustainably managed forests.
The requirements for the certification are strict enough to ensure the sustainable management of a forest is socially just, ecologically sound and economically viable. However, they must also be attainable for forests owners, from the large to the small.
The certification is developed by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) which is an umbrella organization that endorses national forest certification systems that have been developed through multi-stakeholder processes and tailored to local priorities and conditions.
