29. Financial information by segment
The Group’s reportable segments are Sustainable Forest Management Brazil, Sustainable Forest Management Gabon, Trading and Carbon & Energy. Precious Woods’ forests in Brazil and Gabon are managed in a sustainable manner, which means that not more timber is harvested than can simultaneously grow back, and that the value of the forest is preserved. An integral part of Precious Woods’ approach to sustainable forestry is the use of waste wood to produce electricity and the registration and sale of carbon emission reductions (CERs).
Management monitors and evaluates EBITDA of all segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources to be allocated and of assessing performance.
