– The Biodiversity Roadmap for the Wood Processing Industry

The EU should reduce its dependence on fossil raw materials.

We fully support the EU objective to reach climate neutrality by 2050.

This year's SLUSH Y Science event focused on forests and the environment.

Measures to strengthen the state of nature in connection with forest management have been carried out for about 30 years.

The biodiversity roadmap of the wood processing industry helps to better understand the impacts of forest management and the actions for biodiversity on the forest environment.

By developing measures and improving quality, it is possible to increase the positive effects on nature.

Safeguarding valuable habitats and increasing the proportion of old trees, dead wood and broad-leaved trees produce habitats for both the common and threatened species.

Targeted measures as part of forest management can significantly increase the structural features important for forest biodiversity.

Finnish forest industry invests in energy efficiency.

Forest certification verifies that biodiversity and other environmental values are taken into consideration in forestry to an extent that meets or exceeds the regulatory requirements.

The forest industry emphasises the importance of mitigating climate change. The relative CO2 emissions of the industry’s production have decreased by 64% since 1990.

Sustainability commitments in the forest industry contribute to the achievement of the Agenda 2030 goals in many ways.

The forest industry has significantly reduced air emissions in recent decades.

Significant improvement has been achieved for decades to improve the efficiency of the water use and to reduce the water pollution load in the forest industry. Emissions have fallen to a fraction of the former levels, while production volumes have multiplied.‍
