Sustainable forest management is not regulated by international law, but at an international level people think the same about the importance of sustainable forest management. And Sidekix is happy to join in, because we too like to take care of our planet. In this article, we explain the difference between the two most important labels in this field.
FSC® stands for Forest Stewardship Council® (FSC). FSC® is a global, not-for-profit organisation that strives for responsible forest management worldwide. FSC sets standards based on principles for responsible forest management that are supported by environmental, social and economic stakeholders. Read more about the activities and importance of FSC®.
PEFC stands for Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification. PEFC is an international non-governmental organisation dedicated to promoting sustainable forest management worldwide through the certification of forest management and the processing industries in the supply chain, Read more about the activities and importance of PEFC.
Since July 2019, Sidekix has been part of the growing group of companies, institutions and agencies that want to work in a certified manner and use printed materials that carry an FSC® or PEFC label. This means that not only the origin of the wood is considered, but also issues such as working conditions and other social aspects of the people who live and work in the forest. FSC-certified products are available on request.
