The Rimbunan Hijau (PNG) Group - also known simply as RH - has been operating in Papua New Guinea for nearly two decades. It is a group of companies based in Papua New Guinea with interests in forestry, timber processing, media, retail and property development.

RH has expanded from a small forestry operation to become one of Papua New Guinea's largest employers and PNG's leading manufacturer and exporter of forest products.

RH is a significant contributor to the nation's economic and social wellbeing. RH works closely with landowners, communities, NGOs and government agencies as part of its operations.

RH also takes the environment seriously. RH is Papua New Guinea's industry leader on environmentally responsible and 100 per cent legal management of forests.

'Rimbunan Hijau' means 'forever green' in Malay. RH has prided itself on an economically, environmentally and socially sustainable future for Papua New Guinea.
