Indonesian forest-based companies such as furniture, pulp and paper producers are set for improved access to the international market via a globally recognized sustainable forest-management certification.
The facility is now available after the endorsement of the Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC) program by the Geneva-based Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC), which claims to be the world’s leading forest certification system, besides the Bonn-based Forest Stewardship Council.
The IFCC gained the endorsement from the PEFC after around a two-year rigorous assessment process for national forest certification systems seeking international recognition.
