About the program
The Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC) operates a national certification system that aligns with global standards for sustainable forest management, including the set of Forest Stewardship Council (FSC). The system promotes responsible forest management across Indonesia by ensuring environmental protection, social responsibility, and economic viability. The IFCC Sustainable Forest Management (SFM) certification addresses the specific conditions of Indonesia’s forests. It supports the protection of local communities, biodiversity, and ecosystems while enabling the responsible production of timber and other forest-based products to meet market demand.
IFCC SFM certification aligns with global standards, enabling access to global markets where demand for sustainably sourced products continues to grow. Many global buyers, especially in Europe and North America, prioritize timber from certified sustainable sources.By achieving IFCC certification, companies demonstrate a clear commitment to environmental stewardship while contributing to the conservation of Indonesia’s ecosystems and biodiversity. Production and Sustainable Certification also supports compliance with national forestry laws and regulations, helping to minimize the risk of legal issues related to illegal logging and timber trade.
