Good forest management certification
Anticipating the growing demand for wood products in accordance with the highest environmental standards, Rougier initiated many years ago a voluntary process of certification concerning its forestry and industrial activities. The certification process, audited by a third party independent expert, guarantees that Rougier products, services or procedures are in compliance with the most demanding international standards, such as FSC®.
Product and market diversification
Rougier is developing its business according to the dynamics of product and market diversification. This strategy relies on a dedicated trade organisation highly attentive to market changes.
Divestment from industrial processing activities in Gabon
In Gabon, by refocusing and developing its activity in the forestry production of FSC® certified logs intended for the numerous Gabonese wood processing companies, ROUGIER has simultaneously initiated a process of disengagement or disinvestment of its industrial processing activities.
Rougier expands and develops thanks to its great ability to anticipate and adapt to major changes in the timber industry: establishing in Africa in 1952, responsible forest management from 1994, FSC® certification and industrialisation during the recent years.
