About PEFC

How is PEFC different to FSC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification)

FSC was originally designed for tropical forest conditions,
PEFC was designed for the forests of a cooler climate. FSC is mainly used by large forest owners, such as industrial and state owned forests.

PEFC forests forests may be owned by different parties – families, local authorities, industry and state. They are certified regionally as a group, helping to cuts costs and achieve greater ecological benefits than when individual holdings are certified.

PEFC is:

An umbrella organisation that covers national forest certification schemes, such as the Finnish Forest Certification System (FFCS)
The PEFC council defines the minimum requirements for developing national standards, based on intergovernmental processes for the promotion of responsible forest management
The largest forest certification system in the world
Originally developed for European needs, to suit the special characteristics of small-scale private forest ownership. In time, the PEFC has been widened to cover the northern hemisphere and now endorses 35 different schemes.

PEFC like FSC is:

based on third-party audits
is independent, non-profit making, non-governmental organisations
promotes environmental, social and economically responsible forest management
develops and establishes criteria through an open and transparent process
is equally accepted in national public procurement policies.

PEFC systems have good sound environmental programmes. All sources of are traceable through a chain of custody. PEFC is about producing paper using a responsible forestry programme which is engineered to help protect the world’s forests indigenous rights and biodiversity. It’s about doing the right thing by the environment.
