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’re committed to promoting sustainable forestry. We ensure that we comply with legal and social standards throughout our supply chains. Our wood comes from 100% verified legal and controlled sources in accordance with ISO 38200. We prefer buying round lumber from certified forests in the purchasing region.

Sawmill

At our sawmill in Brilon, every year 800,000 cubic metres of spruce and pine logs are felled from sustainable forestry. Sawmill by-products are directly processed further in the wood-based materials production.
