Environment & Sustainability
Our environmental cycle – sustainability is more than a word
We stand for the responsible use of wood. As in nature, we also organize our processes in cycles that conserve resources. Our focus is on our closed material cycle.
We support the sustainable development goals of the UN. With SDG 15, we are committed to the protection and restoration of terrestrial ecosystems, and to promoting the sustainable management of forests. Our wood comes from 100% verified legal and controlled sources in accordance with ISO 38200. We buy pulpwood from FSC®, PEFC or SFI certified forests in the purchasing region when possible.
We prefer to purchase by-products from regional and certified sawmills. By using by-products, we save natural resources.
To continually improve our environmental performance in the production process, we are opting for internationally certified energy and environmental management systems in accordance with ISO 50001, ISO 14001 and EMAS.
We provide full transparency with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). These documents provide professionals with important information on environmental and health aspects, and are also available to interested end users – for each of our base products.
We recycle waste wood in our production of wood-based materials. It comes from disposed goods, such as furniture, pallets or packaging material. This allows us to conserve fresh resources and extend the effect of CO2 storage.
We convert heat into green electricity in our own biomass power plants. The biomass and wood residues can no longer be used as materials in production.
