Holzindustrie Schweighofer is cooperating with Romanian authorities in the DIICOT investigation
Holzindustrie Schweighofer cooperates with the Romanian authorities and fully supports their efforts in the investigation started on 30th of May 2018. The company`s main principle is to always act within the framework of laws and regulations. The company is offering all available information that might help the ongoing investigation and is assisting the authorities in all matters that might lead to a correct investigation based on fully transparent data. Holzindustrie Schweighofer is the first interested to bring light into this situation. The company has not been yet notified of the scope of the investigation.
At the beginning of 2017, Holzindustrie Schweighofer implemented a state of the art action plan to fight illegal logging in Romania and to support a sustainable timber industry. Overall, the company invested €1 million in strengthening the security of its supply chain. A major pillar of this action plan is the company’s Timflow-system, a unique GPS-tracking system that monitors the transport routes of saw log trucks from loading point to saw mill gate. Overall, these measures by far exceed the requirements of the Romanian laws and regulations. One year after implementation, the company took stock of its measures and shared the information with the public.
