FSC® Forest Week is the perfect occasion to unveil a project!

The Alpine forest resource is a precious asset: a renewable, high-quality wood, enhanced by local supply chains.

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

This project plays a key role in a region highly sensitive to societal issues (landscape and tourism), such as the Alps between France and Italy. Forest management is often at the crossroads of debates between economic development and nature protection.

The project’s objectives:

– Strengthen certification tools for the management, origin, and quality of wood products from Alpine forest resources;

– Promote short supply chains while avoiding additional pollution;

Increase certified forest areas;

– Create a true opportunity for sustainable development in Alpine territories across France and Italy.

📢 Two demonstrative actions will be launched as part of the project… stay tuned for Friday’s announcement!
