Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes (PEFC)

PEFC is an independent, non-profit, non-governmental organisation which promotes sustainably managed forests.
Founded in 1999, it is the world’s largest forest certification system, contributing to the environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests for present and future generations.

PEFC provides an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests.
