PEFC Accredited

What does PEFC stand for?
Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. The PEFC is a global
umbrella organisation for the assessment and mutual recognition of national
forest certification schemes that a developed through a multi-stakeholder
process. This process, respects the principle of subsidiary, which means that
although national schemes remain independent, they co-operate with each other
under the PEFC umbrella. This ensures the wood products emanating from each
scheme meet equivalent standards and can therefore be traded internationally.

How does the PEFC system work?
Forest certification - what is it? An assessment from an independent, qualified
and accredited expert who verifies in writing that the forest management practices
comply with a series of collectively agreed performance standards for sustainability.
