FSC® and PEFC Group Certification
A cost-effective way for small and medium enterprises to achieve forest certification
What is FSC® and PEFC Group Certification?
Group certification is the solution through which multiple small and medium companies obtain FSC® or PEFC certification under a single certificate, managed by a group entity. Group certification reduces costs by 15-30% compared to individual certification and includes full support for audit and documentation. Costs are amortized through more stable client relationships, better prices, and improved internal management. This approach makes Chain of Custody certification accessible for SMEs.
