Holzindustrie Schweighofer: Progress on the action plan for a sustainable timber industry in Romania

• More transparency for the timber supply chain
• Implementation of GPS tracking for the supply chain being rolled out as planned – already 350 trucks equipped with GPS
• Objective: By the end of the first quarter of 2017, all of Holzindustrie Schweighofer’s suppliers will be fitted with GPS tracking equipment  

Holzindustrie Schweighofer reports its progress on rolling out its action plan to secure a sustainable timber industry in Romania. Following its commitment to fight illegal logging, the company bases its approach on constructive dialogue with environmental NGOs, transparent communication and an overall enhanced control system for its supply chain. Since the company does not harvest any trees itself, it requires its suppliers to equip all trucks with the GPS system “Timflow”. This allows tracing of the delivered timber to its exact loading place.
