PEFC and the ASEAN Furniture Industries Council - AFIC have renewed our partnership for another two years to continue advancing responsible sourcing across the ASEAN furniture sector.

Building on four years of collaboration, the renewed partnership brings together PEFC’s expertise in sustainable forest management and certification with AFIC’s strong network of national furniture associations and industry stakeholders across ASEAN.

Over the next two years, we will continue working together through knowledge sharing and industry engagement to support furniture companies in strengthening responsible sourcing practices, increasing awareness of certified forest-based materials and responding to evolving sustainability expectations.

We look forward to building on our collaboration and continuing our work together across the region.

Brands sourcing from agroforestry landscapes face increasing pressure to demonstrate:
▪️ Climate-positive production
▪️ Social responsibility

Agroforestry certification provides internationally recognised assurance that trees beyond forests are sustainably managed, aligned with global ESG, SDG, and climate disclosure expectations.

With PEFC-certified agroforestry, supply chains can build trust -from farm to final product - through credible, verified sourcing.

If you source from tree-based systems, it’s time to strengthen confidence and make that trust visible. 🌳

Illegal logging remains one of the biggest challenges facing global forest product supply chains, accounting for an estimated 15–30% of the global timber trade.

At the APEC Experts Group on Illegal Logging and Associated Trade (EGILAT) meeting in Shenzhen, China, reaffirmed its commitment to advancing legal and sustainable timber trade across the Asia-Pacific region.

Representing PEFC, Benson Yu highlighted how , chain of custody and due diligence solutions help businesses demonstrate the legal origin of forest products and meet evolving regulatory and market requirements. He also underscored the importance of collaboration to strengthen market confidence and build more resilient forest value chains.

As digital technologies such as AI, DNA profiling and blockchain continue to transform timber traceability, international cooperation and credible certification have never been more important.

We look forward to continuing our collaboration with APEC economies and EGILAT members to strengthen sustainable forest management, enhance timber legality and promote responsible forest product supply chains.
