Brands and retailers

Brand owners and retailers

As a brand owner or retailer, you have an important role to play in promoting the sustainability of forests around the world. Through responsible sourcing, you create the demand for certified sustainable material, providing a financial incentive to keep a forest a forest, and not use it for other purposes. PEFC can help you do this.

Benefit from PEFC certification

For companies at the end of the supply chain, such as brand owners and retailers, PEFC certification offers you many benefits: from highlighting your sustainable procurement choices to meeting demanding legislative and market requirements.

How to source PEFC-certified products

PEFC-certified material is available globally. In fact, many of the forest-based products you are procuring may already feature PEFC certification and only a few simple steps will be needed for the final product to carry the PEFC label.

How to promote your sustainable material

If you are sourcing PEFC-certified products, you need to tell your customers about it. You can do this through the PEFC label. There are several options for how you can use the PEFC label, both on and off products.
