The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) is a global forest accreditation body offering independent third party verification of forest management and timber products. It does not itself conduct the certification, but instead accredits certification bodies to undertake the assessment of forests, timber and timber product processing operations and licences them to register organisations to the FSC schemes.

PEFC is a framework for the mutual recognition of credible national or regional forest certification schemes which have been developed to meet internationally recognised requirements for sustainable forest management. The PEFC rules require that the verification system is certified by an independent third party.

BM TRADA is UKAS accredited to offer PEFC Chain of Custody certification and by the FSC for timber product certification or chain of custody certification.

VERCO are pleased to confirm that the raw materials used in the manufacture of its furniture have been certified by BM TRADA to FSC and PEFC chain of custody certification.
