PEFC CERTIFICATION

Workspace holds the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) certification and our registration number is SCS-PEFC-COC-006387

The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) is an international, non-profit, non-governmental organization which promotes sustainable forest management through independent third-party certification and Workspace is committed to implementing and maintaining the requirements of the international chain of custody standard PEFC ST 2002:2020.

PEFC work throughout the entire forest supply chain to promote good practice in the forest and to ensure that forest-based products are produced with respect for the highest ecological, social and ethical standards. The PEFC certification ensures that products come from well-managed forests that provide environmental, social and economic benefits.

Having a Chain of Custody certificate demonstrates that Workspace cares about sourcing timber or tree-based products from responsibly managed forests. Over the past few years, environmental awareness has become more and more the norm. The demand for certified products has increased and continues to do so. Many businesses and consumers prefer products from responsibly managed forests.

The PEFC Chain of Custody (CoC) certificate offers a way for manufacturers, processors and traders to respond to these demands and participate in the production chain of PEFC certified wood products. The PEFC certification system provides a connection between the forest and the end user, ensuring that products with the PEFC label uphold Principles and Criteria, which bring the highest social and environmental benefits.

The PEFC – Chain of Custody system connects responsible forest management practices and products with consumers. Workspace can demonstrate its commitment to environmentally and socially responsible forest management and label our products with the PEFC trademarks.
