WOOD & DERIVATIVES AND SECOND WORK SPECIALIST VALUES & STRATEGY FIGURES LOCATIONS DISTRIBUTION PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT RECRUITMENT PRO AREA ENVIRONMENT SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT Because logging is our historic core business, our group has from the outset anchored the preservation of natural resources and their renewal in its values. It is therefore logical that the BARILLET and Henry MILLET sawmills use wood from sustainably managed forests . Like the BARILLET distribution network, they thus comply with PEFC certification , the French and European reference in this field. We have even chosen to go beyond simple compliance with environmental legislation by opting, within our sawmills, for a production tool that uses less energy . Finally, wood remains more economical in construction. Its insulation properties are superior to those of all other materials and can generate heating savings of 20% to 30%. WOOD CUTTING, ESSENTIAL TO REGENERATE THE FOREST In France, the forest has doubled in area: for two centuries, less wood is harvested there than it grows. However, the management of forests and the cutting of trees allow them to be ventilated, to make room for young shoots while promoting their growth and vigor. Another beneficial effect: the fight against the greenhouse effect. A tree that grows consumes CO 2 , a tree that rots releases it into the atmosphere. And, at the end of the chain, the 20 m 3 of wood needed to build a house definitively capture the 20 tonnes of CO 2 absorbed. by trees during their lifetime.
