Sustainable Forest Management, PEFC ST 1003
Benchmark Standard
Date of implementation 13 November 2024
This benchmark lays out the international requirements for sustainable forest management. Developed by a working group with representation of all relevant stakeholders, it describes the criteria and indicators we believe are vital for the sustainable management of a forest. Every national forest management standard must address these requirements to achieve PEFC endorsement.
