Our sustainability footprint

Paper making and packaging production are technical processes that require significant resources, including wood fibre, water, energy and other materials to produce final products. Although we manage renewable forests, some of the resources we use to produce our products are limited and need to be managed responsibly to ensure the sustainability of our forests and other resources and, ultimately, the continuation of our business.

Our business is highly integrated through the entire product life cycle, from the responsible development and management of forests, to the production and marketing of a variety of paper and packaging products, and finally, to the recycling of paper and packaging.

We are a global company with key market positions in central Europe, Russia and South Africa. In 2010, we produced around 3.7 million tonnes of pulp, of which 85% was for internal use and 15% was sold to third parties.

We consumed 15.5 million m³ of wood, 1.8 tonnes of recovered paper, and 3.6 tonnes of pulp in 2010.

Globally we aim to:

Expand our forestry footprint through responsible, sustainable forestry
Increase our economic footprint through market development and value generation
Enhance our social footprint by promoting safe production, equity and the development of human capital
Minimise our environmental footprint
