• CIB

Traditionally, tropical regions have produced only a very limited supply of credibly certified timber, and at DLH we would like to see this tendency changed. Our long term goal is to trade only in sustainably produced timber and wood products. This is one of the main reasons behind DLH’s decision to become directly involved in forest management.

Our Congolese subsidiary Congolaise Industrielle des Bois (CIB) was the first company in Tropical Africa to publicly commit to achieving credible FSC certification. The first step was achieved in 2006 with certification of the Kabo concession. In 2008 we not only expect to increase our FSC certified area in Congo-Brazzaville, but also to start the certification process at Gabonaise Industrielle des Bois (GIB) in Gabon.
