UPM, WWF Finland to work together to promote sustainability in wood-based biofuels
In Finland, UPM and WWF Finland have developed a list of joint measures to promote sustainability int he wood-based liquid biofuels industry in Finland. The parties will jointly conduct a scientific forest carbon impact study related to wood-based biofuels. UPM and WWF Finland also commit to further developing the FSC standard and promoting its credibility and use in Finland.
The companies agree that transparency in the production of sustainable biofuels and continuous improvement of practices and public policies are the best methods in ensuring the sustainable production and use of wood-based biomass.
“We have worked together with UPM for a long time, and wood-based biofuels have been the most recent topic of our joint discussions. We agree on a number of matters. However, there are also issues that we disagree on, such as stump removal, and our dialogue on these issues continues,” says Liisa Rohweder, CEO of WWF Finland.
The companies engaged in a dialogue to hammer out many of these goals, which can be read here.
