PEFC Chain of Custody

QuadWinkowski has PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certification. The PEFC is an independent, nonprofit, nongovernmental organization and is the world’s largest forest certification organization. PEFC promotes sustainable forest management – environmentally, socially beneficial and economically viable management of forests for present and future generations – through independent third-party forest certification. Founded in 1999, the PEFC provides an assurance mechanism to purchasers of wood and paper products that they are promoting the sustainable management of forests.

The system checks the origin of the products PEFC is one element of environmental activities of our company.  Obtaining PEFC certification means that we make use of materials related to forestry which are not:

  • from wooded areas in which there is a violation of civil rights, or tradition;
  • from wooded areas, where high conservation values are threatened;
  • from genetically modified trees;
  • from illegal acquisition;
  • from the natural forest that has been converted to plantations or other areas of non-forestry use.
