Sustainable Forest Management... the world cannot survive without it!
Why Choose The Australian Forest Certification Scheme (AFCS)?
Standards contribute to the protection of human beings, animals, property, forests and the environment against hazards
of all kinds, ensure inter-changeability and inter-operability, and facilitate communication by means of common terminology.
Standards are independently certified; when standards are absent we soon take notice.
In the domestic market your organisation can make the claim that they support the sustainable management of Australian forests, promote Australian produced and made products and support the work force in Australia.
The AFCS has the only Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) and the only Chain of Custody (CoC) certification process that are Australian Standards®; Australian Forestry Standard - SFM Certification - AS 4708
Australian Forestry Standard - CoC Certification - AS 4707 The Standard - Volume 1 2009
