about pefC
The Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international nonprofit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management through independent third-party certification. It works throughout the forest supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that wood-based products are sourced with respect for stringent ecological, social and ethical standards.
PEFC is an umbrella organisation. It works by endorsing national forest certification systems developed collaboratively by all interested stakeholders and tailored to local priorities and conditions. National forest certification schemes undergo rigorous third party assessment against PEFCs unique Sustainability Benchmarks. Today, PEFC has recognised certification systems in more than 30 countries. Together these account for over 245 million hectares of certified forests, making PEFC the worlds largest forest certification system. It is the certification system of choice for family and community-owned forests. PEFC-certified materials are specified in public and corporate procurement policies around the world.
