Holzindustrie Schweighofer on FSC® disassociation: “We will continue to roll out our action plan for sustainable timber processing in Romania”

The Schweighofer Group takes FSC^®’s current decision to disassociate from the group as a cause to further intensify its efforts to implement and optimize its control system to ensure a sustainable timber supply chain in Romania. In mid-January 2017, the company presented a comprehensive set of measures aimed at installing a new security architecture that is unmatched in Romania’s forestry industry and surpasses all regulatory requirements. In 2017, the Schweighofer Group is investing about EUR 1 million in its new control system. The company is determined to do everything it can to convince FSC^® and its stakeholders of the new system’s effectiveness. Holzindustrie Schweighofer aims at developing a roadmap for re-association together with FSC^® as quickly as possible.
