ATIBT – Fair&Precious Videos Now Available with Chinese Subtitles

03.04.2026

As part of the Timber Trade Facility (TTT) project, ATIBT continues to strengthen its awareness-raising and promotion efforts for sustainable tropical timber at the international level. A new milestone has been reached with the release of several Fair&Precious videos now subtitled in Chinese (Simplified Mandarin).

This initiative is fully aligned with the objectives of the TTT project, funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) and implemented by GIZ in partnership with COMIFAC. The project aims to reduce illegal deforestation in the Congo Basin by promoting legal, transparent, and sustainable trade in tropical timber, across the entire supply chain—from Central Africa to international markets, including Asia .

Educational content tailored for the Chinese market

The translation and subtitling of these videos address a strategic priority: enhancing access for Chinese stakeholders to clear and reliable content on sustainable forest management and responsible practices in the timber sector.

Four key themes are now available in Chinese:

Video 1 Tropical timber as a construction material, highlighting its technical and environmental performance
Video 2 Occupational health and safety, with a focus on personal protective equipment (PPE)
Video 3 Best practices in traceability, essential to ensure legal supply chains
Video 4 Forest certification, a cornerstone of sustainable forest management and market credibility

Supporting sustainable practices and transparency

Through this initiative, ATIBT reaffirms its commitment to:

supporting companies in achieving certification and compliance with environmental and social standards,
strengthening the capacities of international operators,
and actively promoting sustainably sourced tropical timber on key markets, particularly in Asia .

Making these resources available in Mandarin is therefore a concrete step toward facilitating the uptake of sustainability requirements among Chinese market players, who play a central role in the global timber trade.

Discover and share

ATIBT invites its members and partners to explore and share these videos, which contribute to disseminating key messages on legality, traceability, and sustainability across the forest sector.
