About the «Russian Forest» Association

The national association of timber industry "Russian Forest" was founded in 2013. The emergence of "Russian Forest" was the result of the merger of logging, processing and logistics companies in the Russian forest industry. The unifying idea for each individual company was concern for the environment, and a fundamental understanding of the realities of the industry was a mandatory attribute. All this made it possible to form the position of the professional community, to find a connection between the timber merchants, the executive and legislative authorities of the Russian Federation, and to begin fruitful work at a fundamentally new level.

Together with the relevant Committees of the State Duma, the Federal Forestry Agency, the Ministry of Industry and Trade of the Russian Federation, the association carries out activities aimed at improving legislation. Participation in parliamentary hearings, meetings of working groups and other advisory bodies makes it possible to form a unified position of the professional community and defend the interests of timber merchants. With the assistance of the "Russian Forest" фssociation, the "National Forest Forum" is held annually, bringing together representatives of all parties interested in the effective use of Russia's heritage - the forest.

The very presence of the association within the industry makes it possible to make relations between the state and the timber industry more structured, which has a positive effect on the business component of the industry. On the other hand, this makes it possible to better control the work and optimize every single process within the industry.
