The number of certified hectares of forest and certified companies continued to grow, and two new systems achieved PEFC endorsement – one of them the very first regional system to be endorsed.
PEFC continued to work as a global team, collaborating and supporting one another. One priority of its work is to drive innovation to accelerate the uptake of forest certification.
Key activities in 2021 included the launch of a new database and search engine, and the facilitation of the transition to the 2020 standards.
PEFC is increasingly working in partnerships and advancing regional collaboration between members and potential future members. In 2021, major steps were made in Central Africa and Southeast Europe.
PEFC intensified its collaboration with different actors from the forest-based supply chain, including market sectors such as construction, fashion, rubber, packaging, and furniture. By reaching out to its partners on the ground, it made them ambassadors for sustainability and forest certification.
