FSC & PEFC Forestry Certification

Forests are treasured global assets. All manufacturers of paper or other timber products can ensure compliance with, and support for, responsible forestry with FSC® and PEFC certification.

Global concern for the environmental impact of forestry means that manufacturers and distributors of timber and timber related products are expected to support responsible forest management.

FSC Forestry certification. The Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC®) promotes responsible forest management. The FSC chain of custody certifies the path taken by products from the forest to the consumer. (Or, in the case of recycled materials, from the reclamation site.)

PEFC Forestry certification. Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certification makes it easy to identify and promote products that are made from sustainably managed wood.

Telarc can guide you to achieve forestry certification that attests to your use of sustainably sourced timber products.

Telarc’s expert team will make the experience of attaining FSC® and/or PEFC forestry certification easy.

How to achieve certification

Contact Telarc using our quote request form and we will help you through the process to achieve the certification(s) your organisation strives for.

The standards can be complex, but we’ve made it easy with simplified self-evaluation checklists that break down what you need to have implemented to meet the requirements of the standard. You can use the checklist to determine to what extent you already meet the requirements to become accredited, and which gaps need to be addressed.

Once you’re satisfied that your organisation meets the requirements, Telarc will audit your systems and either issue the certification or identify non-conformances that you need to address before certification is granted.
