PEFC Council

The PEFC Council (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) is an organization that promotes sustainable forest management worldwide. It offers certification standards to ensure forests are managed responsibly, balancing ecological health, social fairness, and economic viability. When a forest or product bears the PEFC label, it indicates that it originates from well-managed forests that follow strict environmental and social criteria. This certification helps consumers make environmentally conscious choices and encourages forest owners and companies to adopt sustainable practices that protect ecosystems for future generations.
