The world’s largest contiguous FSC® certified tropical hardwood concessions.
We manage 2.1 million hectares of forest concessions in the north of the Republic of Congo to the highest standards in line with the FSC®. Our operations are spread over five locations: Pokola, Loundoungou, Kabo, North Pikounda and Mimbeli Ibenga.
Harvesting takes place in four concessions in which we produce products that are 100% certified by the FSC®. We maintain and a fifth concession in Pikounda as a conservation area where over 92,000 hectares are permanently preserved as part of the REDD+ programme in partnership with the Republic of Congo.
