Roseburg Is A Cooperating Witness
In the U.S. Customs and Immigration Enforcement investigation into alleged illegal imports of okoumé veneer by Cornerstone Forest Products, Roseburg Forest Products has been cooperative and transparent with investigators. Roseburg states that ICE investigators "have repeatedly assured Roseburg that the company is not the focus of the investigation at this time. Media reports have inaccurately stated or implied that Roseburg is the focus of the investigation."
"Roseburg's Lacey Act due diligence does not stop with certifications," says Roseburg. "With the assistance of third-party experts in supply chain compliance such as DoubleHelix Tracking Technologies, Roseburg proactively audits suppliers to assess compliance and mitigate risk. In the summer and fall of 2018, on Roseburg's behalf, DoubleHelix conducted okoumé veneer supply chain risk assessments and compliance audits."
