FSC® Forest Week is coming to a close — the perfect time to shine a spotlight on the CertForAlp project!

Since early 2025, La Rochette Cartonboard has been part of the CertForAlp project – Certification of forest-wood supply chains in the Alps, developed under the Interreg France-Italy ALCOTRA program. 🍃

Two concrete actions are currently underway to expand certified forest areas, strengthen wood traceability systems, and enhance wood quality certifications:

1️⃣ Testing two certification processes within local supply chains (one in France and one in Italy). In these pilot territories, approaches and tools are being trialed to make certification more accessible for forest owners and companies in the sector.

2️⃣ Establishing a dedicated working group on certification communication (traceability and quality). The goal: to develop collective, cross-cutting actions that provide clear information to all stakeholders — going beyond the simple promotion of a label.
