FSC® and PEFC ™: what do these quality marks mean and why are they important?

Sustainability plays an increasingly important role in our daily lives. From food to clothing and from energy to building materials, consumers and companies are looking for environmentally friendly alternatives. In the wood and paper industry, FSC® (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Program for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) are two important quality marks. But what exactly do these certifications mean? And why are they so important?
