  • ‘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.’

  • ‘A pioneer of forest certification in the Congo Basin, Wijma Cameroon SA was the first company in the region to become FSC TM certified in 2005. In December 2011, Wijma Cameroon SA was also the first company to obtain a certificate FSC TM Group Management (Group Wijma Cameroon) in the Congo Basin. 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.’
