3. Financial information by segment

The activities of the Group are primarily organized and presented in four operating segments supported by a central corporate office. Management monitors and evaluates EBITDA of all segments separately for the purpose of making decisions about resources to be allocated and of assessing performance.

  • Sustainable Forest Management Brazil: operations active in the sustainable management of tropical forests and the processing of tropical timber in Brazil
  • Sustainable Forest Management Gabon: operations active in the sustainable management of tropical forests and the processing of tropical timber in Gabon
  • Trading: trading of timber from external sources in Switzerland
  • Carbon & Energy: trading of Certified Emission Reductions (CERs)

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). The calculation parameters of the validation and verification standard CDM (Clean Development Mechanism) for project activities, used for the verification, have been partially adjusted in 2019. That led to lower volumes of verified CO2 equivalents than expected. In 2019, based on the new calculation scheme, 39 269 tons of CO2 equivalents were verified; whilst in 2020 34 867 tons of CO2 equivalents were produced, but are not yet verified.
