Sustainability
We take responsibility for the future
For us, there are no excuses for not doing our very best to minimize our climate footprint. Sustainability is a central part of our business and something that permeates the way we work. We therefore actively strive to develop our processes, use resources more efficiently, and take responsibility for our impact – from raw material to finished product.
We see it as our most important role to support everyone who increasingly wants to use wood in smart and sustainable production solutions. Through knowledge, innovation, and close collaboration with our customers, we aim to make it easier to choose wood as a natural and sustainable alternative in construction.
Together, we can help reduce the environmental impact of the construction sector and create solutions that last over time – for people, the environment, and a more sustainable future.

Certifications
Right now, we are working on mapping out our very best wood product from an environmental perspective – smart, right!? By analyzing the entire life cycle, we can better understand where we make the biggest difference and how we can improve even further.

Focus on the work environment
We believe that a strong work environment is built on collaboration, care, and long-term thinking. That’s why we invest in both the people and the environment where our wood products are grown, with a focus on sustainability at every step. By creating safe workplaces, encouraging engagement, and taking responsibility for our resources, we lay the foundation for a business that endures over time – for both our employees and future generations.
Together in production
We work as a team where every step is part of the whole – creating better products and a more enjoyable workplace.
Sustainable well-being
Wellness allowance, group workouts with a personal trainer, and massage – we invest in the long-term health of our employees.
Preventive focus
Annual health check-ups and daily care – to ensure our team thrives throughout their working life.
Our Environmental Policy
We work purposefully to reduce our environmental footprint and promote sustainability in everything we do. We know that our renewable raw material, natural wood, despite its many advantages, is not an infinite resource. That’s why we feel a great responsibility to manage it in the best possible way and use every part as efficiently as we can.
We therefore do our utmost to make the most of the material we purchase. If we cannot use sorted pieces for another product, perhaps narrower or of lower quality, we look for other ways to utilize them in our production. And in the worst case, we use the material to produce fuel briquettes for heating homes and district heating networks. In this way, even leftover material can contribute to new energy instead of going to waste.
Everything we take from the forest has value to us, and our ambition is that nothing should be used unnecessarily. By thinking circularly and prioritizing sustainability at every step, we can make the most of nature’s resources in a responsible and long-term way.
