Who We Are
Our vision "A World in Which People Manage Forests Sustainably" emphasized the role that we as humans play in the management of one of the world's most precious ecosystems.
What Makes PEFC Unique?
With alternative forest and chain of custody certification options available, there are good reasons why so many forest owners and managers, business and consumers are opting for PEFC.
Our approach to certification contains a number of unique features that have helped to make us the largest and one of the most credible forest certification systems globally.

"Think global - act global" is at the heart of PEFC's governance system. Our decentralised, "bottom-up" approach strengthens action on the ground and enables local stakeholders to participate in the core activities of forest certification at national level.
Internationally, we seek to harmonise differing interest to optimise our contribution to society globally.
