Print Print this Article | Send to Colleague

 
Consumers and public and private organizations alike are increasingly requesting forest products from sustainably managed forests.

But how can they be sure about the origin of the products they buy?
 
The answer is PEFC Chain of Custody certification.

PEFC forest certification demonstrates that forests are sustainably managed. But there are many steps of processing before a product reaches consumers. PEFC Chain of Custody certification tracks certified products from the forest through the entire supply chain, giving certified companies and consumers peace of mind about the origin of the forest products.
 
Why get PEFC Chain of Custody certification?
 
According to a recent survey, 70% of consumers think that companies should use PEFC certification to demonstrate that the wood they are using originates from legal and sustainable sources.

PEFC Chain of Custody certification allows you to:
  • Track certified products through the entire supply chain
  • Meet private and public sector procurement requirements
  • Demonstrate your compliance with timber legislation
  • Use the PEFC label, trusted by millions of consumers and organizations around the world
  • Highlight to your customers your company’s commitment to sustainability
  • And because they are global, with the largest area of certified forest, you can source PEFC-certified materials wherever you are.
PEFC Chain of Custody certification is available for all companies buying and selling forest products. To find out more how to get certified, contact your local PEFC office or PEFC International.
