GFTN-Sweden
The GFTN-Sweden was founded in 1998. It is a voluntary network of companies and organisations that want to work for a responsible management and use of the world's forests.
The main aim of GFTN-Sweden is to spread knowledge about responsible forest management and responsible purchasing of forest products.
This is achieved mainly through the member companies' own activities but also through events arranged by the network secretariat, such as seminars, information meetings, participation in trade fairs as well as production and distribution of information material.
