Schweighofer Group received PEFC certification

Jun 04, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. All wood that is processed by Schweighofer Group comes from PEFC controlled sources – without exception. The PEFC certificate of Schweighofer is effective for wood purchasing, further processing, timber sales as well as the pulp production of the group. The certificate is linked with a due diligence system for tracking back to the wood source, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network. 

This system guarantees that there are no logs from any illegal cuttings being processed and brought to the market. By that Schweighofer is also in a position to officially attest to its clients the legal source of the wooden raw materials and supports the sustainable forestry in the countries of origin.

PEFC is the world's largest forest certification system to support and ensure sustainable forestry. Strict controls regarding forest management as well as regular checks by independent certification authorities ensure this system.

Schweighofer Group is a large wood processing company with operations in Austria, Romania, Czech Republic, Slovakia and Ukraine.
