Trainees will be required to complete an online knowledge test after completion of the in-person training. Qualified trainees will receive a certificate as qualified PEFC Chain of Custody Auditors from PEFC International.

What to expect
Organized by PEFC and the Network for Certification and Conservation of Forests (NCCF), our national member for India, the two-day classroom training will present PEFC Chain of Custody certification, PEFC trademarks and the PEFC Due Diligence System (DDS).

PEFC Chain of Custody certification provides independently verified assurance that certified wood contained in a product originates from well-managed forests. PEFC DDS minimizes the risk that timber comes from illegal harvesting and enables companies to demonstrate alignment with regulatory requirements, such as EUTR.

The training will be based on the following standards:
*PEFC ST 2003:2012 (Second Edition) Requirements for Certification Bodies operating Certification against the PEFC International Chain of Custody Standards
*PEFC ST 2002:2013 (Second Edition) Chain of Custody of Forest Based Products – Requirements
*PEFC ST 2001:2008 (Second Edition) Logo Usage Rules – Requirements

The training will be given by Richard Laity, PEFC South East Asia Representative.

Why you should get training
PEFC Chain of Custody certification covers more than 20,000 companies, and certification bodies, auditors and certified companies around the world apply the PEFC Chain of Custody standard on a daily basis.

This enables the consistent application of the Chain of Custody requirements in daily practice, and allows us to exchange experiences with, and receive valuable feedback from auditors on the implementation of the standard.

Attending a PEFC-recognized training is also a precondition to become a qualified auditor.

Need to train several auditors
If you work for a certification body with a high number of auditors, the PEFC Training Recognition Program might be a more efficient way to receive the PEFC training. See how you can take part in the program.

Plans drawn up for World’s tallest Wooden Skyscraper

Sumitomo Forestry, a Japanese company is planning to build the world's tallest wooden skyscraper to mark its 350th anniversary in 2041. Only 10% of the 70-storey W350 tower would be steel, combined with about 180,000 cubic metres of indigenous wood which will make up for 90% of the building. This will limit the carbon footprint of the building as the wood will store the carbon instead of emitting it into the atmosphere. There will be about 8,000 homes, with trees and foliage on balconies at every level, creating a pleasant space for plants and living organisms and in turn contributing to the biodiversity of the city. In doing so, the company will be on track to meet its wider objective to create environmentally-friendly and timber utilising cities and maintain the livelihood of the forest ecosystem.

More carbon sinks, fast! Are we aware of what is already being done?

Currently, the public discussion on Finnish forests often boils down to everyone being concerned about our carbon sinks. However, Finnish forest owners and Finnish forestry continuously take care of our carbon sinks by investing in forest growth through efficient regeneration and good forest management. Naturally, there is also room to improve. For the climate, the most important aspect of sustainable forest use is ensuring the growth of new forests. When forests are regenerated, it is important that the new trees begin to grow rapidly. This means that choosing correct, well-bred and high quality silvicultural material is important. The majority of the forest area that is annually regenerated, around 100,000 hectares, is established by either planting or sowing. Choosing the correct forest cultivation material is an easy and long-term method for impacting the growth of the new forest and its future tree yield. click read more below for additional information
