About the certification
Responsible and sustainable forest management has become a vital issue during the past decades. Inadequate and improper forest management practices are threatening the long-term viability of many forests. This reduces their economic potential significantly, resulting in negative social and environmental impacts.
Public awareness and the demand for certified timber products is growing, and Forest Management Certification gives the necessary reassurance that timber products originating from a forest are managed in a responsible and sustainable way.
Accreditation
Forest managers and forest owners who choose to ignore the sustainability issue are becoming very vulnerable. Their over-exploitation leads to a serious depletion of natural resources and increased public criticism. That is why more and more managers and owners are looking to Forest Management Certification. Control Union Certifications BV is accredited by RVA for this scheme under registration nr. RvA-C412 Products. The scope includes the critical office in the United Kingdom.
