About us> Environment & Sustainability

Our environmental cycle – sustainability is more than a word for us.

We stand for the responsible use of the raw material wood. Like in nature, we also organise our processes in cycles that conserve resources. Our focus is on our closed material cycle.

Sustainable forestry

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 according to ISO 38200. We buy roundwood preferably from FSC®, PEFC or SFI certified forests in the purchasing region.

Consumer / Product Environmental Performance Assessment

We provide full transparency with Environmental Product Declarations (EPDs). They provide professionals with important information on environmental and health aspects, and are also available to interested end-users – for each of our base products.

Recycling

We recycle waste wood in our production of wood-based materials. It comes from disposed goods such as furniture, pallets or packaging material. In this way we conserve fresh resources and extend the effect of CO2 storage.

Renewable energy

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.
