PEFC US

What is PEFC?

PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) is the world’s largest certification scheme for sustainable forestry.

The certification ensures that forests are managed with respect for nature, biodiversity and the people who live and work in and around the forests.

For businesses, PEFC also means that the journey of the timber from the forest to the finished product can be documented through a certified Chain of Custody.

Responsible forestry

Forests are managed responsibly, with respect for nature, biodiversity and future generations.

Traceability throughout the value chain

The origin of the timber can be documented throughout the value chain – from the forest to the finished product.

 

Long-term protection of forests

Responsible forest management helps to preserve forests and their resources in the long term.

 

Social responsibility

Responsible forestry promotes good working conditions and takes local communities into account.

Documented responsibility – every step of the way

What does this mean for you?

When you choose a PEFC-certified product from Fog & Venø, you receive documentation confirming that the timber:

  • - comes from responsibly managed forests
  • - can be traced throughout the entire supply chain
  • - is managed under independent third-party certification
  • - supports responsible forestry with a focus on the environment, social conditions and economic sustainability.
