PEFC Annual Review 2018
Annual Review
Forests support over half of all terrestrial species diversity, impact 1.6 billion people directly and affect all of us indirectly. However, we can see that the world’s increasingly urban society struggles to appreciate the fundamental role that forestry, and the whole forest products supply chain, plays in delivering and maintaining a sustainable world. At PEFC, we have a vital role to play in changing this paradigm.

Forests for Fashion: From the forests to your wardrobe
Forests for Fashion
Our forests have so much to offer us. Cork, and yarns from cypress, beech and eucalyptus trees, are all softer and more breathable than cotton or silk. Fabrics similar to leather can instead come from our hardwoods and conifers. These cellulose fibers are also extremely environmentally friendly.

Annual Review
Climate change, population growth, urbanization, poverty and inequality... these are just some of the issues that we as society have to tackle, and forests are an important part of the solution. The PEFC family can, and will, place forests at the heart of the solutions to these challenges. Together, we have the opportunity to demonstrate the real value of sustainably managed forests and their contribution to achieving the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
