PEFC Week 2016 - Invitation

Dear Colleague,

The vibrant backdrop of Bali, Indonesia will set the scene for the 2016 PEFC Stakeholder Dialogue titled, ‘Sustainable Landscapes for Sustainable Livelihoods:  harnessing the power of forest certification & sustainable supply chains.’

You are cordially invited to attend the two-day event which will take place on the 17 & 18 November 2016.

The dialogue will build clarity and vision on the role of forest certification, sustainable supply chains and stakeholders in catalyzing sustainable landscapes & livelihoods. The world needs more ambitious forest-based solutions. PEFC’s event will provoke exchange amongst participants on how sustainable forestry and forest certification can move beyond traditional boundaries to further accelerate sustainable development. It will challenge, motivate and inspire forest sector leadership in promoting sustainable landscapes where trees deliver maximum positive impacts to people and the environment.

Join PEFC’s event to:

  • share experience and showcase best practice on creating equitable, productive and healthy landscapes through sustainable supply chains;

Green Building's LEED Credit promotes sustainable forestry

The green building movement – from architects and builders to specifiers and planners - can now benefit from an expanded range of responsibly sourced timber and forest products eligible for Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED).

The U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) has just issued an Alternative Compliance Path (ACP). The ACP rewards building projects that use "wood products from certified sources as defined by ASTM D7612-10", which includes internationally recognized voluntary forest certification standards such as PEFC (including its North American based members ATFS, CSA and SFI) and FSC. The ACP will apply to all LEED v4 rating systems including Homes v4 and to all LEED 2009 rating systems.
