Uncertified Entities

The PEFC logo is highly credible and allows organizations, governments, associations and others to communicate and promote their support for PEFC-certified sustainable forest management.

Off-product use does not refer to specific products or the origin of raw material from PEFC-certified forests.

Off-product use includes the use of the PEFC logo and labels to communicate PEFC certification on/in:

• Annual reports, CSR reports and, sustainability reports
• Brochures and other written material
• Information displays, posters in stores, at trade fairs
• Advertisements & flyers
• Websites

Note that any use of the PEFC logo and label that refers to – or can be perceived as referring to – a specific PEFC-certified product and/or the origin of the raw material used in its production is considered “on-product” use.
