What are the benefits of being part of the PEFC alliance?
Being part of an alliance permits to be represented and supported at international level, to be stronger and able to face attacks from competitors and other organisations, to share experiences and learn from good practices of other countries. Moreover, it is important to have a global communication and promotion strategy.
