Information on PEFC
Founded in 1999 as the Pan European Forest Certification Council (PEFC) in Paris, non-European members also joined in 2002, so that in 2003 the meaning of the acronym PEFC was changed to “Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification schemes”. The primary goal of PEFC is to improve sustainable forest management in terms of economic, ecological and social standards. Further information on PEFC can be found at www.pefc.org or www.pefc.at
