Forests are Home campaign: sustainable forest management for wooden furniture
The global furniture trade has grown in value by a staggering 65% in the last decade, and today that industry is the third largest user of forest wood. That wood travels through a long and complex international supply chain on its way to become a part of your home. Thus, in the spirit of Sustainable Development Goal 17 (often called “the partnership for the goals”), PEFC launched its Forests are Home campaign, to bring together everyone involved in creating, designing and building furniture.
The campaign itself is a result of cooperation, and inclusion. Diverse perspectives from 12 different PEFC national members helped to form this campaign. Now, using its convening power as a global organization, PEFC seeks to increase cooperation and partnership among disparate actors along the furniture supply chain. By making these actors aware of each other’s activities, PEFC can help them work together for sustainability across the entire supply chain.
To further this goal, PEFC has launched a website, devoted to sustainable furniture with resources for you, no matter what your role is: whether you are a forest owner, a manufacturer, a retailer, a consumer, an interior architect or a member of an association.
