“Responsible wood sourcing holds primary importance for Koskisen.” – Koskisen.
Koskisen’s wood procurement prioritizes the diversity and vitality of forest ecosystems, promoting regeneration and ensuring a sustainable supply of raw materials for future generations. The majority of the wood used is certified and primarily sourced from Finnish private forest owners.
Koskisen’s wood procurement principles are grounded in laws, national forest management guidelines, PEFC certification, and the Forest Environment Programme for the Sawmill Industry. These principles are consistently upheld by partners implementing measures for Koskisen, ensuring uniform practices across the board.
“In all procurement, we use a chain of custody system (PEFC, FSC) that enables the traceability of wood. The origin of the raw material is always checked so that the forests in protected areas are safeguarded and wood is not sourced from controversial or illegal sources. We also comply with the requirements set by the Deforestation Regulation in our operations.”
Koskisen’s growth will be driven by creating value for customers, enhancing current operations, and taking bold, strategic steps forward.
“We create value for our customers by helping them mitigate climate change and adapt to the future through our products and services. To serve them even better, we will improve our offering and serve new customer groups.”
Koskisen aims to be the most attractive employer in its industry, a goal that can only be achieved through continuous and comprehensive development across all operations. To this end, Koskisen invests in product development and the efficient execution of new ventures and expansions. The success of the machines relies on the essential efforts that support the well-being and vitality of the entire Koskisen community.
Koskisen is dedicated to making a positive impact on both the world and their industry, aiming to create value for customers, employees, owners, and society at large. To achieve this, the company is committed to taking bold steps toward sustainable growth and a bio-circular economy. This includes investing in the development of operations and expanding current production capabilities.
