We are committed to the sustainable use of forests. In our wood procurement, we comply with the criteria of PEFC forest certification. PEFC forest certification promotes sustainable forestry, which means the management and use of forests in a way that supports their biodiversity, productivity, regenerative capacity and vitality. In addition, sustainable forestry aims to promote forest-related ecological, economic and social activities at local, national and global levels, now and in the future. PEFC certification ensures that wood comes from legal sources and that its chain of custody from sustainably managed forests to products is known.
