Given its long experience in forest management, Wijma Cameroon SA has decided to share his experience in accompanying several other companies in this way. Thus, with support and accompaniment, companies CAFECO SA, CFK SA and SCIEB SA were certified respectively in 2010, 2011 and 2012 on all of their titles. Wijma Cameroon SA has decided to join the CBP to be supported in his efforts and determination to maintain its FSC TM certificates, those of its partners and to support new companies on this track.’
