Management System Certification Body MG Global offers accredited certification under the Bulgarian forest certification system against the PEFC BG ST 1002:2024 standard - Standard for Sustainable Forest Management in Bulgaria.
What is certification:
Forest certification is a voluntary market-based instrument implemented through two separate but related processes: sustainable forest management certification and chain of custody certification.
Sustainable Forest Management Certification ensures that forests are managed in accordance with challenging environmental, social and economic requirements.
PEFC chain of custody certification traces forest-based products from sustainable sources to the final product. It demonstrates that every step of the supply chain is closely monitored through independent auditing to ensure that unsustainable sources are excluded.
Why is certification needed:
Forest certification is crucial for providing evidence of sustainable forest management. It enables forest owners and managers to demonstrate that the practices they implement in their forests today are sustainable and that their forests meet both our needs and those of future generations.
It also acts as a tool for sustainability by enabling consumers and companies to choose products with sustainable origins, rewarding responsible forest owners and creating an incentive for non-certified forest owners to obtain certification.
Forest certification increases the value of forests by building consumer confidence and therefore creating additional demand for forest products. Creating additional value and demand for forest products is one of the best ways to maintain forests, as it prevents them from being cut down for alternative land uses, such as agriculture.
Increasingly, forest certification is a prerequisite for doing business, and certified forest materials are increasingly required in public procurement policies around the world.
