Wood Certification Standards

Wood certification standards are industry guidelines that ensure wood products are sourced sustainably and responsibly. They verify that forests are managed in ways that protect ecosystems, support local communities, and maintain biodiversity. Certifications like FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) provide assurance to consumers and businesses that the wood they buy comes from responsibly managed forests. These standards promote environmental health, social responsibility, and economic viability, helping to reduce illegal logging and deforestation while supporting sustainable forest practices globally.
