FSC and PEFC Certification

Chain of custody certification gives independent verification that timber and timber goods originate from responsibly managed forests. It shows that the material is tracked through every stage of the supply chain.

Maintaining a certified chain of custody system provides assurances that products are sourced and manufactured following globally recognized ecological, social and economic standards. For a product to qualify, it needs to be certified through the Forest Stewardship Council^TM (FSC) or the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Council (PEFC). Element’s market-leading team of certification experts, BM TRADA can help with this.
