Resource efficiency

Everything can be smarter and more resource-efficient. This is a never-ending process. But our utilisation of raw material from the forest is becoming more and more efficient. And by using every part of the tree, we are reducing our environmental impact and increasing our competitiveness. We are already self-sufficient in energy, but our deliveries of bioenergy to all sectors of society will increase.

Targets: Electricity and heat production

Nearly all of our electricity is generated from renewable fuels. Energy is generated in our pulp mills and sawmills and comes mainly from our wood raw material. Our various industrial operations produce a large surplus of green energy which is sold to external customers in the form of renewable electricity, district heating and biofuels.

In addition, our annual electricity generation will exceed our electricity consumption (it already does). To achieve our targets, we are investing in increased and optimised generation in order to reduce our use of energy and chemicals, for example.
