Metsä Group

The Metsä Group Plus forest management model promotes regenerative forestry

Metsä Group is committed to developing regenerative forestry. The aim is to ensure that forest management actions contribute to measurable improvements in the state of forest nature in Finland. A tangible example is the Metsä Group Plus forest management model. In connection with a wood trade or a young stand management order, measures are agreed upon to safeguard and improve the state of forest nature, which go beyond current standard practices. For example, more retention trees are left during harvesting operations, and more high biodiversity stumps are created per hectare. Metsä Group pays an additional per-hectare bonus for thinning and regeneration fellings carried out in accordance with the requirements of the Metsä Group Plus model. The goal is for the impacts of these measures to be demonstrated in a measured and verified way by 2030 at the latest.
