In addition to the statutory information contained in this year’s Annual Report, we have sought to provide a flavour of the various activities that PEFC has been engaged in over the past year.

Ensuring that the PEFC scheme complies with influential government and private sector procurement policies is a key priority so regular engagement with policy makers is vital. PEFC UK also takes its role as one of the PEFC family’s twenty five endorsed schemes very seriously. For more information on our standard setting and policy development work.

Finally, as certification is a voluntary market-based instrument to improve the management of the world’s forests, we recognise that growing demand for certified products must be a priority if we are to add value for our members who have invested in the programme through the notification fee.
