Insights from our sustainable biomass experts
Why do you conduct site visits at our suppliers?
Peter: We conduct site visits because it is key for us to know who we are dealing with. We use the forest certification schemes like FSC© and SPB as the backbone of our sustainability assurance, our visits are focused on motivating and guiding our suppliers to meet our requirements.
What are you looking for?
Lisbeth: Each forest is unique, so we need to get on the ground to understand it. We need to understand our suppliers, how the forests are managed and the products produced. Our aim is to understand the local context and any risks each supplier is working under. This helps us to develop our cooperation with our suppliers.
Why do we need this documentation?
Lisbeth: To be trustworthy! We need the numbers and pictures to document that the biomass we source is sustainable and that we reach the carbon reduction targets we have set and report on every year.
