Wood keepers

Panguaneta has joined the forest certification system for wooded areas and their final products. The good forest management certification (issued by third party organizations) requires the assumption of specific responsibilities by both growers and transformers:  both are wood keepers.

As far as Panguaneta is concerned, this implies the recourse to specific management protocols for planting, cultivation, cutting and control of wood flows. All this forms a chain of custody: it is Panguaneta traceability, an ecological and environmental guarantee covering all its products

The support to local communities

Panguaneta and the whole sector acknowledge that their future is linked to that of forests. This fact, together with the regulations imposing the reforestation of cut down trees and the development of certification schemes, gives that stability necessary for a constant growth of forests. “A forest that pays is a forest that remains”… is a saying that states a simple truth: the survival of a forest actually depends on its value for the local community and the relations it is able to create with the real economy within a sustainable development. The wood market helps owners and governments consider forests under a different point of view. As soon as the welfare of a community is associated with the presence of a forest, the principles of sustainable management become common practice.
