The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) has released a ‘Forests Matter’ video to promote the values and benefits of responsibly-sourced forest products.
The new video highlights the facts that globally some 1.6billion people rely on forests, and that two out of three land species live in them. Forests need to be sustainably managed so that they can continue to provide a wide range of benefits for future generations.
In the video, PEFC underlines the fact that it promotes sustainable forest management practices, based on a local stakeholder approach, and uses independent third-party certification and accreditation. PEFC connects forests to the marketplace, helping businesses and companies to provide transparency and reassurance to consumers in their product offerings, with thousands of companies around the world now producing, buying using PEFC-certified products.
