In June 2023, the European Parliament adopted the European Union Deforestation Regulation (EUDR), which aims to prohibit the placing on the EU market or the export from it of products that have contributed to deforestation or forest degradation.

This regulation will come into force on December 30, 2025, for SMEs like La Rochette Cartonboard.

In this context, we are pleased to announce the signing of a commercial partnership with our chemical pulp supplier De Eendragt Alliancell, which has developed an EUDR management solution for its clients using the Supply Logica tool. This 2-year partnership demonstrates our commitment to complying with this regulation and strengthening our dedication to sustainable forest management.

This initiative also reflects our ambition “Towards New Summits”: to become a high-performing and sustainable long-term partner! 🌲

Wednesday, October 15, we had the pleasure of welcoming 24 students from Grenoble INP-Pagora, the international school for paper, printed communication, and biomaterials.

This morning was a great opportunity to introduce them to our history, our professions, our expertise, and our entire manufacturing process, giving future paper engineers a firsthand look at the industry! 🏭

In early October, La Rochette Cartonboard successfully passed its PEFC renewal audit, once again confirming our commitment to sustainable forest management and responsible sourcing.

The Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC) ensures that wood and wood-based products come from sustainably managed forests, in line with strict environmental, social, and economic criteria.

This certification confirms that:
✅ Our wood supplies are fully traceable;
✅ We prioritize responsible sourcing;
✅ We contribute to the preservation of forests.

👏 Congratulations to all teams for their hard work and dedication!
