ATIBT is pleased to announce that Société d’Exploitation des Établissements Fombelle (SEEF) has joined the Fair&Precious collective, marking an important step in strengthening commitments to sustainable tropical forest management.
In the forest, SEEF operates three Forest Management Units (FMUs) covering a total area of 257,000 hectares. The company also has three factories and twelve dryers, spread over two sites, enabling it to carry out the complete processing of the logs it harvests. SEEF is thus able to supply primary processing products (wet sawn timber), secondary processing products (dried sawn timber) and tertiary processing products (glued laminated timber, joists, etc.).
In terms of certification, SEEF holds OLB and PAFC/PEFC certificates for all its products.
Fair&Precious, the collective brand launched by ATIBT, already brings together several operators committed to Africa and Latin America around ten concrete commitments: combating illegal logging, respecting biodiversity, supporting local communities, transparency, and technical excellence. The arrival of SEEF illustrates the program's momentum and strengthens its representation in the Congo Basin.
Mr. Pierre Mancel, Managing Director of SEEF, said:
"Proud of its values and its commitment to sustainable forestry, SEEF is honored to join the Fair&Precious program. This is a new step that further strengthens our desire to combine respect for the environment, social equity, and quality excellence. "
With this membership, SEEF joins the circle of Fair&Precious Certified Operators, benefiting from increased visibility in ATIBT's communication activities and actively contributing to the promotion of certified tropical timber as a responsible choice for sustainable construction.
