Sustainable Forest Management requires a certification system that allows the parties to assess progress in the achievement of sustainable forest management. Such a system needs to be built in accordance with local, national and global terms and conditions, with a spirit of cooperation and togetherness without pressure. This positive spirit motivated us to establish a Forestry Certification Cooperation named Indonesian Forestry Certification Cooperation (IFCC).

IFCC was established on September 9th, 2011, which its objective is to promote SFM by implementation of the PEFC scheme, which includes among others certification of forest management, forest products, forest product-processing industries and the chain of custody.
