Supporting value chains

Responsibly managed forest is a renewable source of forest-based materials. These materials are supporting green value chains such as furniture, paper, pellets, cork, etc.

Incentivizing long-term investments

Responsible forest management requires long-term forest management plans (usually 10-15 years) which in turn enables long-term investments.

Income

Securing stable income

Responsibly managing a forest means that the forests are growing and improving, which consequently secures income from forestry activities.
