In a world where environmental sustainability is more important than ever, companies have a responsibility to meet strict standards to preserve our natural resources. At Pallets Castillo, we care about the environment and work to convert our operations into sustainable practices. This commitment is reflected in the FSC and PEFC certifications, two internationally recognised standards that guarantee responsible forestry practices.
What do FSC and PEFC certificates mean?
The FSC (Forest Stewardship Council) and PEFC (Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification) certificates are seals of guarantee that ensure that the wood used in the production of pallets comes from sustainably managed forests. In particular, the PEFC Certificate is a voluntary initiative of the European private forestry sector that recognises us as an approved pallet manufacturer in Spain.

Certification criteria and standards
These certificates are the result of rigorous and exhaustive audits that evaluate a series of strict criteria, from responsible forest management and respect for the rights of forest workers, to the prohibition of the use of hazardous chemicals and the management of the chain of custody from forest to final product.
Among others, we highlight the particular importance of sustainable forest management, ensuring that the forests from which our timber comes constitute an environment where workers’ rights are respected, biodiversity is conserved and ecosystems are protected. Furthermore, at Pallets Castillo we are committed to complying with the chain of custody, guaranteeing that the wood used in our pallets comes from certified sources, ensuring traceability and transparency throughout the entire production process.
Contribution to the preservation of forests and biodiversity.
Our commitment to FSC and PEFC certification not only benefits the environment, but also local communities and conscious consumers. By supporting sustainable forest management, we contribute to the preservation of forests as reservoirs of biodiversity and natural climate regulators. In addition, we promote a responsible forest economy that contributes to the sustainable development of forest regions.

By choosing FSC® or PEFC certified products, consumers not only purchase quality pallets, but also actively contribute to the protection of our forest resources.
