Focus on sustainability

The finalised regulation must recognise the importance of sustainable, renewable materials in circular economy.

In the new scenario review by the Natural Resources Institute Finland, the amount of both decaying stemwood and retention trees will considerably increase over the next few decades.

The new action programme helps improve sunny and dry habitats in commercial forests as well as the status of species dependent on these habitats.

In Finland, there is a strong ambition to become the best country in the world in acknowledging forest biodiversity during harvesting. This would require top-class measuring and documenting.

The development of forest assessment based on laser scanning and aerial photographs enables more accurate planning of forest management measures and, thus, generates significant economic benefits.

Without energy, nothing happens. Energy puts things in motion but may produce carbon emissions as a by-product

The progress report on the sustainability commitments provides more information on the concrete measures taken to secure biodiversity in commercial forests.

The aim of the recently published directive is to ensure that environmental claims are based on actual environmental impacts.
