A special event held today in Jakarta saw Indonesia celebrate its achievement in becoming the latest country to receive PEFC endorsement of its national forest certification system.
Organized by the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC), the event gathered a wide range of stakeholders, including representatives from forest owners associations and industry, as well as PEFC International CEO Ben Gunneberg.
The Indonesian Forest Certification System was endorsed by PEFC earlier this year in October, and follows recognition by the European Union and Australia of Indonesia’s Timber Legality Assurance System (SVLK), sending a strong signal that Indonesia is able and willing to manage its forests in a sustainable and transparent manner.
