PEFC is an international non-profit, non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) through independent third-party certification. PEFC works throughout the entire forest supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that timber and non-timber forest products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards. PEFC’s distinctive ‘green trees’ logo make it a truly global brand and means customers and consumers are able to identify products from sustainably managed forests.
What encouraged you to become a member of ASBP?
We feel that the time is right to support the industry in any way we can to ensure that timber is seen as the ‘go to’ building material for a ‘net zero carbon’ future. Joining and working alongside organisations such as ASBP is a great way to do this.
