The uptake of carbon dioxide by our growing forests and the storage of carbon dioxide in their products is already three times greater than our total fossil emissions. And while actively managing the forest in a responsible way and constantly replanting new trees improves the sequestering of carbon dioxide, the renewable raw material we process also helps others to reduce their carbon footprint.
Being climate positive is quite simply inherent to our core business. That said, it is also not in our nature to sit back and take credit for the power of the forest. On the contrary, it spurs us to work harder, which is how we have reduced our own fossil emissions by almost 90 per cent over the past 20 years. At the same time, we take responsibility for ensuring that our forestry is carried out with consideration for biodiversity. We are pleased to see that our efforts are resulting in a steady stream of positive developments for our forests and our industries.
Not just looking at our own impact but also contributing positively to the rest of the world – this is the foundation of our business, and something that we will continue to refine and invest in, for our own benefit and for future generations.
