Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification

PEFC is a leading global alliance of national forest certification systems. It provides forest owners a tool to demonstrate their responsible practices, while empowering consumers and companies to buy sustainably. PEFC was founded in 1999 and it has since become the largest forest certification system in the world.

When you buy PEFC-certified products you can be confident that the material originates in a sustainably managed forest. This is ensured through traceability of the entire processing chain and through independent third-party certification.

PEFC strongly supports the objectives of the EU Regulation on Deforestation-free Products (EUDR). PEFC certification takes into account numerous environmental, social and economic considerations, while at the same time addressing the EUDR’s key focus – deforestation and legality of wood.

As the world’s largest forest certification system, PEFC remains the certification system of choice for small, non-industrial private forests, with hundreds of thousands of family forest owners certified to comply with this internationally recognized Sustainability Benchmark.
