Background on Woodbois
Woodbois Limited (AIM:WBI) is an African-focused forestry
company, divided into three distinct, but highly complementary
divisions comprising the production and supply of sustainable
African hardwood products, the trading of timber and timber
products, and a reforestation and carbon credit division.
Woodbois' forestry division has production facilities in Gabon
and Mozambique, managing a total of c470,000 hectares of natural
forest concessions. The trading division comprises an experienced
team of timber specialists, who source and supply sustainable
timber to a global customer base. Its proprietary technology
developed in-house, captures, stores and presents data, providing a
matching engine to build scale and optimise trading opportunities
with its global customer base.
The Company's carbon sequestration and trading division aims to
generate voluntary carbon credits for corporate partners through
the delivery of large-scale reforestation projects. The conditional
lease announced today is its first project.
The Company's focus on the transparency and sustainability of
its timber operations has been recognised by The Zoological Society
of London, which ranked Woodbois joint eighth in its Sustainability
Policy Transparency Toolkit ('SPOTT") ESG policy transparency
assessments for the worldwide timber and pulp industries for
2022.
The Company agreed a new partnership with World Forest ID, which
will enhance the traceability and identification of timber,
originating from the Company's forest concessions in Gabon. World
Forest ID is an international organisation, which is
revolutionizing the protection of forests through the application
of science-based origin tracing and species identification. World
Forest ID is building an extensive global library of reference
samples, from various forest regions, for use in cross
verification.
