Since the late 70s, forestry companies began to outsource operations such as planting, harvesting, and transportation. After several failed attempts at unification, in December 2013, 19 entrepreneurs founded the Association of Forestry Contractors AG (ACOFORAG), seeking to improve working conditions, safety, sustainability, and visibility of the sector.
To establish ourselves as the voice and representation of companies that provide forestry services to contribute to the development of the country's forestry sector.
To improve the economic, labor, safety, innovation, and environmental conditions of the member companies of the Guild Association of Forestry Contractors.
Acoforag is guided by values of integrity, social and environmental responsibility, innovation, collaboration, quality, safety, and sustainability, which are reflected in its commitment to ethics, continuous improvement, cooperation, and sustainable development of the forestry sector. These values support its vision of being the voice of the sector and its mission to improve the conditions of associated companies, promoting responsible resource management, adoption of new technologies, creation of alliances, excellence in services, workplace safety, and a balance between economic, social, and environmental factors.
