PEFC certification
PEFC stands for Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes and means commitment to the environment and the responsibility in dealing with raw wood. PEFC is a holistic sustainability, an inclusive approach, that combines environmental, social and economic aspects and represents a guarantee for a controlled processing chain. The aim is to prevent overexploitation and to obtain through the sustainable management of forest biodiversity, productivity and regeneration capacity of forests at local and national level. Worldwide about 355 million hectares of forests are certified. This corresponds to about 8 percent of total global forest area. Two-thirds of which is forest, that is recognised by PEFC certified systems. Because of that the PEFC certification system is the world’s largest resource potential.
J. Fink has been certified since July 2011 in accordance with PEFC and since then communicates environmental awareness.
