‘ROUGIER Group is strongly committed to the process of certification of good forest management. As this process is long and mobilizes many resources both human and financial, a program such as IDH is very useful to support companies like ROUGIER in helping them to achieve this certification. That's why we decided to become the first partner in this program.’
