Magic achieved PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification Schemes) certification, covering the chain of custody of forest-based products and the traceability of certified materials throughout the supply chain.

The certification confirms that Magic’s chain of custody system complies with the requirements of the applicable PEFC standards.

PEFC is a certification system covering both forest management and the traceability of forest-based materials throughout the supply chain.

It is supported by environmental organisations, trade unions, public bodies, forest owners and managers, professionals, academics, timber traders, and producers and sellers of paper and wood products.

Within the PEFC scheme, forest management certification is based on specific requirements verified by independent certification bodies.

Certified forests are regularly inspected by independent auditors according to the following requirements:

• preserving forest as a habitat for animals and plants
• maintaining the protective role of forests in relation towater, soil and climate
• safeguarding  the biodiversity of forest ecosystems
• ensuring that harvesting takes place in line with the forest’s natural growth rate, with harvested areas being replanted or, preferably, naturally regenerated and renewed
• protecting workers rights and health 
• supporting short supply chains
• safeguarding  the rights of indigenous peoples and forest owners.

For Magic, the certification therefore concerns the system used to manage and trace materials that fall within the scope of the PEFC chain of custody, in accordance with the requirements of the scheme.
