SAFAS – Sustainable African Forest Assurance Scheme

SAFAS is a not-for-profit organisation with the goal to provide support for sustainable, responsible wood production for all scales of producers. Our strength lies in our collaboration between private and government  organisations that are concerned with sustainable forestry and land use. In developing our standards and policies we worked closely with the Department of environment, Forestry and Fisheries, forestry experts representing growers of all scales and environmental and social organisations. Our partnership with SANBI and the UNDP has been invaluable to this mission. SAFAS developed a forest certification system that was endorsed by PEFC in 2018.
