The Forest Stewardship Council TM (FSCTM) is an international organization that works globally to promote environmentally responsible, socially conscious, and economically viable forest management. In this effort, parts of a FSC TM forest must remain untouched and serve as a protected area. This calls for sustainable forest design and management, which is verified and confirmed for forest owners via the “Forest Management” certification program. In a further step, FSCTM requires a traceable value chain through the “FSCTM Chain of Custody” certification by certifying the processing companies, starting with the FSCTM forest up to the last production stage.
The “Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification” (PEFC) is an international organization with the aim of documenting, improving, and promoting sustainable forest management in accordance with economic, ecological, and social standards. Similar to FSCTM, the standard sets clear requirements for protected areas, the use of pesticides and operational planning. PEFC also expects “Chain of Custody” certification starting with the forest up to the last production stage, in order to guarantee compliance with the standard right through to the end consumer. This method of certification enables the due diligence requirements of the certification to be met as proof of legally harvested and purchased timber.
