Tailored for businesses in Viet Nam and neighbouring countries, as well as PEFC members globally, this event showcases how PEFC Chain of Custody and Sustainable Forest Management certifications not only meet regulatory demands but also serve as powerful drivers for long-term value creation, resilience,and innovation in forest-based industries.

Through expert insights, real-world case studies,and interactive discussions, you’ll learn how to navigate new market opportunities, meet evolving public and private sector demands, and leverage emerging technologies. 

This event highlights PEFC’s dual role as a globally recognised certification system responding to policy requirements and a robust framework that works hand in hand with businesses and forest owners to lead in safeguarding ecosystems, protecting biodiversity, and supporting local livelihoods.
