CHEP Australia has achieved 100 per cent Chain of Custody certification for its timber sourcing in Australia in what it describes as a significant milestone in its ongoing sustainability efforts.

The Chain of Custody certification is part of the Australian Forest Certification Scheme: Australian Forestry Standard (AFS) and is internationally recognised by the Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC).

CHEP says it worked with its suppliers to help them fulfil the requirements for the certification, which provides assurance to CHEP Australian customers that the supply base used to make and repair the timber pallet pool is sourced from sustainably managed forests.
