Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC)

The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is a global organization that promotes sustainable forest management. It sets standards to ensure forests are cultivated responsibly, balancing ecological health, social benefits, and economic needs. PEFC-certification helps consumers and businesses identify wood and paper products from responsibly managed forests. By supporting PEFC-certified products, people promote practices that protect forests for future generations, prevent deforestation, and promote biodiversity. Essentially, PEFC provides assurance that forest-based products come from well-managed sources aligned with environmental and social principles.
