We sustainably grow the value of the forest assets of Metsäliitto Cooperative’s owner-members and supply wood raw material to our customers cost-effectively and reliably.
We always prioritise our owner-members in our wood procurement. We procure all the wood used by Metsä Group from sustainably managed forests in the Baltic Sea region, most of it from our owner-members in Finland. We also supply significant volumes of energy wood, bark and sawdust for energy wood processing.
In 2023, certified wood accounted for 93 per cent of the wood we procured.
Our wood supply operations abroad ensure the wood supply to Metsä Group’s international production units, as well as the necessary supplementary deliveries to Finland.
We offer our owner-members in Finland comprehensive services for forest management and for increasing their forest assets. Outside Finland, we offer limited forest management services to forest owners in Latvia.
Metsä Group is committed to the principles of regenerative forestry. We implement regenerative forestry principles through various measures that improve the biodiversity of commercial forests, and we are developing new measures to increase biodiversity.
