Enhancing Corporate Sustainability Reporting
PEFC emphasized its role in advancing corporate sustainability reporting, a topic of increasing importance due to evolving regulations and market expectations. The organization highlighted how its rigorous standards for sustainable forest management can empower companies to enhance their environmental sustainability, social responsibility, and governance excellence.
PEFC certification or the use of PEFC-certified materials allows forest-based companies to address critical issues such as climate change, deforestation, biodiversity, community rights, and responsible chemical use. This aligns with key non-financial reporting requirements, making PEFC an valuable asset for companies looking to improve their sustainability disclosures.
Furthermore, PEFC's recognition by leading global disclosure frameworks like the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) Foundation enhances the credibility of companies' sustainability reporting related to forest materials sourcing and sustainable forest management. With over 28,000 companies worldwide trusting PEFC, it provides a transparent framework that complements non-financial reporting on forest-related impacts.
