Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) - Sustainable Forest Management

Standard

Forest certification is a voluntary, market-based instrument, implemented through two separate but linked processes: sustainable forest management certiﬁcation and chain of custody certification.

Sustainable forest management certification assures that forests are managed in line with challenging environmental, social and economic requirements.

Chain of custody certification tracks forest-based products from sustainable sources to the final product. It demonstrates that each step of the supply chain is closely monitored through independent auditing to ensure that unsustainable sources are excluded.
