Vietnam Forest Certification Center (VFCC) was reorganized from the Vietnam Forest Certification Office (VFCO). VFCC is the organization implementing the Vietnam Forest Certification Scheme (VFCS) under Decision No. 1288/QD-TTg of the Prime Minister. VFCS was endorsed by the Program for Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) in October 2020.

VFCS aims to increase the added value of forestry through the application of qualified varieties and appropriate forest management measures, improving and enhancing ecosystem services, and protecting biodiversity; ensuring the legal source of wood materials to meet the certification requirements of the market.
