Forests Action at Bauwerk Parkett in Switzerland
Greenpeace activists protested against “Bauwerk Parkett AG„ the largest parquet producer of Switzerland. They climbed on the roof of the company to unfold a huge banner reading „Stopp Urwaldzerstörung“ („Stop Ancient Forest Destruction“). The entrance of the premises was occupied with a giant chainsaw.
In original language:
Wälder Aktion gegen Bauwerk Parkett AG
Heute Morgen haben Greenpeace Aktivisten auf dem Gelände der Bauwerk Parkett AG ein riesiges Transparent mit der Aufschrift «Stopp Urwaldzerstörung» entrollt. Adressatin der Protestaktion ist Bauwerk, die grösste Schweizer Parkettproduzentin. Bauwerk hat in den letzten Jahren vermehrt Tropenholz für ihre Produkte verwendet, darunter einige gefährdete Arten. Greenpeace kann belegen, dass Bauwerk Holz von kamerunischen Firmen importierte, die in illegale Machenschaften involviert sind. Greenpeace fordert Bauwerk auf, sofort auf den Kauf von nicht glaubwürdig zertifiziertem Urwaldholz zu verzichten.

Forests Action at Bauwerk Parkett in Switzerland

In recent years, ‘Bauwerk’ has used tropical wood for its products, including some endangered species. Greenpeace can prove that ‘Bauwerk’ imported wood of Cameroonian firms (Mbah Mbah Georges (MMG) and Société Forestière et Industrielle de la Doumé (SFID) that are involved in illegal activities. Therefore Greenpeace demands ‘Bauwerk’ to refrain from purchasing wood without a credible certificate.
