3 forestry labels

Swiss wood label

The Swiss Wood label is awarded by Lignum, the umbrella organization of the Swiss forestry and timber industry. Swiss wood refers to wood from domestic forests and wood products made from at least 80% Swiss wood. Wood from the Principality of Liechtenstein may also bear the label. Swiss wood guarantees production in accordance with strict Swiss legislation.

PEFC

The PEFC label (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) has its origins in Europe and was initiated by the timber industry in 1999. It is a voluntary labeling system based on consensus with the main interest groups that pursue the idea of sustainable forest management at national and regional level. It stands for an economically sensible, environmentally friendly and socially acceptable use of the forest in accordance with the Helsinki criteria (resolution of the Ministerial Conference on the Protection of Forests in Europe).

PEFC is an important certificate in the international timber trade and the most common forest label today; with 33 national organizations, it is extremely important for forest certification and has the largest certified forest area globally.

FSC operates internationally and is an independent, non-profit organization that receives significant support from environmental associations.
