PEFC Forest Management Certification
Forest management certification is a process that verifies a forest is being managed sustainably, ensuring ecological health, social benefits, and economic viability. It involves meeting established standards set by organizations promoting responsible practices such as conservation, biodiversity protection, and responsible logging. This certification helps consumers and businesses support environmentally and socially responsible forestry.
PEFC Chain of Custody Certification
PEFC chain of custody certification provides independent, third-party assurance that the forest-based materials in your products originate from sustainably managed forests and controlled sources. It helps you demonstrate a transparent and responsible supply chain, respond to increasing market and regulatory expectations, and use the trusted PEFC label to communicate your sustainability commitment.
PEFC Contractor Certification
Contractor Certification aims to promote sustainable forest management and improve the quality, efficiency, and social responsibility of forestry service providers. It helps certified contractors gain competitive advantages. The standard applies to forestry contractors involved in activities such as forest tending, harvesting, and transportation of timber and wood chips.
EUDR Compliance
The European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR) is legislation aimed at reducing global deforestation by ensuring that products sold within the EU market are not linked to illegal or unsustainable deforestation practices. It requires companies to trace and verify their supply chains, demonstrating commitments to responsible sourcing and environmental sustainability.
