LOGGING In April 2015, WWF France and Rougier launched a three-year strategic partnership focusing on good forest management in Africa and responsible supply chains in Europe. The collaboration between WWF and Rougier enhances the criteria of environmental viability as a major business standard. Rougier holds FSC forest management certificates on several forest concessions in Gabon and Cameroon Since the company was founded, Rougier has developed its business activities in a responsible way. As a major forest operator in the Congo Basin, the group intends to continue its economic strengthening in African timber markets while contributing to the protection of the forests in which they operate.» PROCESSING By the implementation of forest management plans, Rougier ensures responsible forest management of its concessions while achieving business objectives and committing to social and environmental reponsibilities. Tree Nursery Bastien Ballouhey, CEO With an annual production capacity of cbm, Rougier is today one of the main suppliers of timber in Central Africa, able to offer a wide range of species and products, for which legality and traceability are guaranteed. LOGISTICS As a fully integrated player, Rougier controls the entire production chain from the forest concession and all the way to importing customers. Products in the form of logs, sawn timber or plywood are exported and shipped by truck, train or boat and marketed all over the world.
