PEFC Forest Management certification 

PEFC sustainable forest management certification is available in countries with PEFC-endorsed national certification systems. This is because each system is tailored to the context of each country, enabling you to certify your forest to a standard developed with your situation in mind, while still meeting international requirements.

Preferred by Nature offers PEFC Forest Management certification only in Denmark. If you are interested in PEFC certifying your forest in a different country, we recommend looking for relevant PEFC Certification Bodies on PEFC's website.
