Launch of digital initiative will strengthen support and engagement with rural communities in Republic of Congo

Operating in the north of the Republic of the Congo, Congoalise Industrielle des Bois has been present in the region since 1968. The Corporate Responsibility and Sustainability team of CIB have immense knowledge about the region. Every week they go out on the field to sensitise the communities and indigenous populations on various themes pertaining to health, safety, rights, and family related issues.
