📊 According to the FAO, we lose around 10 million hectares of forest every year. Yet, only one quarter of the world’s 4 billion hectares of forests are currently protected or certified.

To tackle climate change and biodiversity loss, we all need to take action for forests: businesses, organizations, governments, and citizens alike.

🍃 At La Rochette Cartonboard, forest preservation is also part of our mission:

• FSC® certified since 2013, we prioritize FSC® raw materials to contribute to a future where forests and the communities who depend on them can thrive;

• The wood chips used to produce our mechanical pulp are sourced from local sawmills within a 100 km radius of our plant;

• The bark used as fuel for our biomass boiler comes from waste generated by nearby wood industries.

This year, La Rochette Cartonboard is joining forces with FSC and many committed organizations around the world to promote responsible forest management from 20 to 26 September.

FSC®, an international non-profit organization, provides strict and reliable solutions to safeguard the world’s forests, tackle deforestation, protect biodiversity, and address climate challenges.

Today, more than 160 million hectares of forests are FSC-certified, based on recognized environmental, social, and economic criteria.

🔎 Throughout the week, we will share what FSC certification really means in practice and highlight a collaborative project that contributes, at our level, to forest preservation.

As part of the momentum launched last March, July 22nd was marked by three key meetings, bringing our employees together around a common goal: a mid-year review of our “Reaching New Heights” strategy.

This day was an opportunity to:
– Assess the evolution of our market
– Review our performance
– Engage in meaningful exchanges with the teams
– Reinforce our shared vision for the remainder of the year

The Executive Committee and members of the Sales team shared concrete progress on our 2025 strategic priorities.

Together, we’re reaching new heights! ⛰️

On Wednesday, July 9th, we had the pleasure of welcoming our shareholder, alongside the Management and teams, for a site visit followed by a discussion around our strategy “Towards New Summits”.

This meeting was marked by constructive exchanges, highlighting the alignment between our long-term vision and the concrete actions already underway.

It further strengthens mutual trust and support around our strategic directions, driven by a sustainable customer approach, a recognized multi-sector positioning, and a commitment to operational excellence implemented daily by our teams.

On Friday, June 13, we were present alongside OPCO 2i at the Avec l’industrie® stand during the first edition of the Indus’Festival trade show at the Haute-Savoie Exhibition Center (Rochexpo).

It was a day full of great encounters and meaningful exchanges, particularly with young people eager to learn more about careers in the Paper/Cardboard industry.

It was also an opportunity to introduce the general public to our history, expertise, and career opportunities.

This event was a great showcase for the local industry!
