A major step forward for the sustainable management of the country's forests. SEEF has just been awarded PAFC-BC (Pan African Forest Certification) certification. This international recognition underlines SEEF's commitment to sustainable forest management and marks an important milestone for the Cameroonian forestry sector.
A committed family business
Founded in 1994, SEEF has distinguished itself through its innovative and responsible approach to forest management. Over the past seven years, SEEF has made major investments to modernize its infrastructure and improve its forestry practices. These efforts have enabled the company to expand its forest area and strengthen its market position.
PAFC-BC certification: well-deserved recognition
PAFC certification is an internationally recognized standard for sustainable forest management. It aims to promote responsible forestry practices and guarantee that forest products come from sustainably managed sources. To obtain this certification, SEEF had to demonstrate its commitment to environmentally friendly, socially responsible and economically viable practices.
Importance of certification for SEEF and Cameroon
Obtaining PAFC-BC certification is a major asset for SEEF. It strengthens the company's credibility on the international market and opens up new business opportunities. For Cameroon, this certification is a step towards the sustainable management of forest resources, helping to combat deforestation and preserve biodiversity.
An industrial vision for the future
SEEF doesn't stop there. The company has a clear industrial vision for the future, with plans to expand and diversify its activities. Thanks to its ongoing investments and close collaboration with local communities, SEEF is well positioned to become an undisputed leader in sustainable forest management in Africa.
Challenges and prospects
Although PAFC certification is an important milestone, SEEF and the Cameroonian forestry sector face a number of challenges. Implementing sustainable practices requires ongoing investment and close collaboration with local communities. However, the outlook is promising. PAFC-BC certification can serve as a model for other companies and encourage more responsible forest management on a national scale.
The future
SEEF's PAFC-BC certification is a significant step forward for Cameroon's forestry sector. It demonstrates that it is possible to reconcile economic development with environmental protection. By continuing along this path, SEEF and Cameroon can play a leading role in promoting sustainable forest management in Africa.
