What is FSC Certification?

The Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) Chain of Custody certification ensures that wood, paper, and packaging products are sourced from responsibly managed forests. With FSC CoC certification, companies can trace materials throughout their supply chain, meet global sustainability requirements, and build trust with eco-conscious customers and partners.

What is PEFC Certification?

The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) Chain of Custody certification guarantees that forest-based products come from sustainable sources. PEFC CoC certification helps companies demonstrate compliance with international standards, strengthen supply chain transparency, and access new markets that require certified materials.
