Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC)
History before PEFC
Sustainable Forest Management requires a certification system that allows the parties to assess progress in the achievement of sustainable forest management. Such a system needs to be built under local, national, and global terms and conditions, with a spirit of cooperation and togetherness without pressure. This positive spirit motivated us to establish a Forestry Certification Cooperation named Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC).
IFCC was established on September 9th, 2011, and its objective is to promote SFM by the implementation of the PEFC scheme, which includes among others certification of forest management, forest products, forest product-processing industries, and the chain of custody.
