PEFC CoC Sustainable Forest Management Products Certification

Chain of Custody Certification Service

Thanks to the PEFC CoC certification, companies and organizations can guarantee that the products sold come from forests with sustainable management, managed in a controlled form or from recycled materials: wood can be certified, but also non-wood forest products. For example, it is possible to apply certification to products such as undergrowth products, while it is not currently possible to extend it to services such as tourism or sports, to natural resources such as water or air or to forest fauna.
