PEFC has launched its new Project Sourcing standard, a major step forward in helping the built environment sector demonstrate responsible sourcing and traceability, while increasing demand for certified wood across the construction sector globally.
The new standard provides an independent, third-party system that enables organisations to demonstrate that the forest and tree-based materials used within a project are responsibly sourced, traceable and supported by evidence.
As demand grows for timber and forest and tree-based materials, including mass engineered timber elements such as cross laminated timber (CLT), laminated veneer lumber (LVL) and glulam, the need for credible and verifiable sourcing claims has never been greater.
The standard provides a practical system for developers, architects, contractors, designers and specifiers to demonstrate their commitment to responsible sourcing and strengthen the link between sustainable forest management and the construction sector.
