Together these account for over 313 million hectares of certified forests, making PEFC the world's largest forest certification system. It is the certification scheme of choice for small forest owners including family and community-owned forests. PEFC-certified materials are accepted by public and private sector procurement policies worldwide.

More than 20,000 companies from around globe have obtained PEFC Chain of Custody certification and are therefore able to offer tens of thousands of products bearing the easily recognised "green tree" brand.
