What is the Service Program?
The PEFC(KFCC - Korea Forest Certification) Chain-of-Custody (CoC) certification is an international program that verifies the transparent tracking of forest and paper products from the forest to the final consumer. KFCC is mutually recognized with the PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification), ensuring that companies certified in Korea are equally recognized in global markets. Through this certification, organizations demonstrate the legal and responsible sourcing of raw materials, social and environmental responsibility, and compliance with international requirements.
