Ensuring sustainable land use

We manage our forests sustainably and develop our strategic forest assets to secure the high-quality wood supply to our mills. Our targets for 2030 related to forests focus on ensuring sustainable land use and maintaining and enhancing biodiversity, securing forest ecosystem services and climate-positive forestry.
