Status of taxes and royalties to which Rougier Gabon is subject (year 2019)
In 2019, 100% of our production is legal and has followed FSC®principles. The high standards we respect ensure that the rainforest will not undergo irreversible change; that the rights of our employees are respected and that local communities will be informed and consulted. We ask our suppliers to follow the same approach. It is with this in mind that CFAF 8,4 billion was spent on salaries and social benefits (including 1.2 billion for social security contributions), nearly CFAF 12.9 billion with our local suppliers in Gabon, and that we declared over 4.6 billion taxes to the Gabonese tax authorities.
