Who Is The Tool For?

PEFC Essentials has been primarily designed for the sales and marketing teams of the 20,000+ companies around the globe trading in PEFC-certified products. Customers buying wood-based products from paper and packaging to constructional timber, flooring and furniture, are increasingly seeking assurances of responsible sourcing. 

By investing in PEFC certification, certified companies have demonstrated their commitment to the responsible sourcing of its raw materials and a sustainable future for the world’s forests. PEFC Essentials has been developed to better equip certified companies’ teams with the knowledge to respond to customer queries about the global sustainable forest management programme that sits behind the PEFC label.
