What do the FSC & PEFC do?

The FSC and PEFC set strict standards for countries and businesses who use wood and paper. These standards aim to protect forests around the world, making sure they continue to grow and thrive. Here are some examples of what the FSC and PEFC are responsible for:

  • Preventing harmful chemical use in forests to protect the air and water of people living nearby.
  • Managing forest owners’ harvesting and forestry practices to protect our trees and prevent soil erosion.
  • Keeping an eye on the trees, plants and animals in each forest to make sure all areas have a diverse range of species.
  • Ensuring forest owners offer work to local communities.
  • Monitoring working conditions in forests to ensure workers are happy and safe.
