Forest Product Legality Verification (VLHHK) for Timber is an official recognition that all processing, trading, and distribution activities for timber forest products comply with the principles of legality and sustainability as stipulated in Indonesian laws and regulations.

The Downstream VLHHK scheme focuses on business units engaged in the timber forest product processing industry, such as sawmills, furniture, plywood, veneer, or other advanced industries. The goal is to ensure that the raw materials used are sourced legally, that the production process is administratively orderly and environmentally friendly, and that the products possess sustainable value recognized by the global market.

Mutu International, as an Independent Assessment and Verification Institution (LPVI) operating in the forestry sector, is obligated to participate in promoting and promoting the implementation of forest governance and the sustainable use of forest products.

Through this certification, the company is declared:

1. Using legal wood raw materials, in accordance with official documents and permits.

2. Implementing an orderly, efficient, and regulatory-compliant production process.

3. Ensuring traceability of wood products from upstream to downstream.

4. Committed to responsible and sustainable industrial practices.

By having a VLHHK Downstream certificate, companies not only prove compliance with national policies on timber legality, but also increase competitiveness in domestic and international markets, because SVLK-certified timber products are recognized as legal, sustainable, and environmentally friendly.
