Our commitment
Our firm commitment and promise is to be a responsible forest manager. Our view on forest management means taking the best measures today that will ensure proper development of the forest for tomorrow.
Our management aims to carefully protect the forests and their biodiversity elements. For us, a responsible way of managing the forests means to balance the role the forest has for the people, the environment and the economy.
We aim to preserve and in many cases enhance the quality of the forest. This is why every step we took from the beginning was directed towards being a responsible forest manager.
Since the establishment on the market,
in July 2015, we have managed to:
Form a functional team made up of local specialists and train them according to our way of working. See our open positions

Implement standards of working with suppliers and contractors
Obtain the certificate for forest management

-
Developed a working procedure in the protected areas that increases the level of transparency of the activities implemented
-
Established that in 5.9% of the total forest area there would be no commercial works
-
Established that more than one quarter of the property is managed having as first objective the bio-conservation thereof
