Sustainability.

For us, the environment and sustainability are obvious issues in everyday life. We are not satisfied with wood being a sustainable product, but work long-term with our entire business to contribute to a sustainable society.

Our raw material comes from responsibly managed forests and is certified.
We continuously work to reduce our climate footprint, e.g. by gradually switching to the latest technology and actively influencing our subcontractors.

Certificates.

The Natural Cycle.

Our sustainability strategy supports a circular economy.

We process raw materials from sustainable forests close to our local facilities in the Baltic Sea region. Properly managed, these forests will provide raw materials that will never run out. New forests are also being planted, managed, and used for products that have long useful lives and promote the creation of a sustainable society. Any waste products are recycled or reused as bioenergy in both solid and liquid form, and, after combustion, carbon is stored in the atmosphere for growing forests again.
