Sustainability
Environment
Caring for the environment is of utmost importance to us. Only healthy forests can produce high-quality raw materials for our products.
All of the wood used in our products comes from responsible sources. Our Group has a PEFC certificate that covers all of the companies belonging to Iivari Mononen Group. We source our timber from as close to our production plants as possible to ensure that emissions from the transportation of timber remain low. We also prefer low-emission options for the transportation of finished products.
By minimising energy consumption and using as much renewable energy as possible, we are reducing our own greenhouse gas emissions.
In 2035 we are 100% carbon-neutral
By 2035, we promise to achieve carbon neutrality in our production chain, ensuring sustainable operations.
Less fossil energy
Fossil energy represents a small share (19%) of our total energy consumption. The use of bark and residue chips from production in heat production at our Höljäkkä and Ilseng plants is a significant factor in the low share of fossil energy. Over the past four years, the share of fossil energy in our total energy consumption has decreased by over 16%.
