What is PEFC?
PEFC is a label that promotes forest management that is environmentally friendly, socially beneficial and economically viable.
Today's buyers of wood-based products want to be sure that they are not contributing to the destruction of forests. Thanks to the PEFC label, you as an owner can demonstrate your know-how and your commitment to sustainable forest management.
Any owner, regardless of size, can have their forest certified. To do so, you must comply with the 15 commitments of the PEFC charter.
At present, half of Wallonia's forests (private and public) have already signed up to this approach.
408 private forest owners have signed up to PEFC certification in Belgium, covering a total area of 30,437 hectares (July 2019).
Why get certified?
By having your forest certified, you are helping to promote wood as an ecological and renewable material, and are part of a long-term approach to forest protection.
PEFC forest certification offers real added value for your forest! It responds to society's need for sustainable forest management. PEFC guarantees the quality of your forest management!
Thanks to PEFC, you can open up new markets!
