A Euro-African consulting firm based in Libreville, SIB Gabon supports stakeholders in the Congo Basin timber sector in achieving sustainable, responsible, and certified management of tropical forests, drawing on over twenty years of field experience in Central Africa.
The company combines hands-on technical expertise in Central Africa with in-depth knowledge of international standards such as FSC® and PEFC™/PAFC™, helping forest concessionaires, industries, and timber buyers improve their practices and access markets that require strong environmental and social guarantees.
Through an integrated approach, SIB works across all stages of the forest management cycle: development of management plans, forest and wildlife inventories, environmental and social impact assessments, social diagnostics, risk analyses, and High Conservation Value studies. The company also provides internal audits, specialized training, and strategic support to prepare organizations for international certifications and strengthen operational capacities.
In addition, SIB develops applied research and innovation in tropical forestry, reforestation and silviculture programs, as well as due diligence and timber legality verification services for international buyers seeking to comply with regulations such as the EUDR.
By linking science, operational practices, and international market requirements, SIB contributes to promoting tropical forestry that creates economic value, respects ecosystems, and benefits local communities in the Congo Basin.
