Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification schemesThe Programme for Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes (PEFC) is an international body whose objective is to determine criteria and indicators for sustainable forest management (SFM), i.e. quantitative and qualitative (descriptive) parameters that, when measured and observed on a regular basis, allow organisations to evaluate their environmental performance and the sustainability of their forest management systems. “Forest management certification” is a recognised and well-tested evaluation procedure that results in a certificate being issued by an independent body to confirm that an organisation’s forest management policies comply with certain “sustainability” requirements. |
