To address our negative impact of materials wasted, we have a 'Waste management policy', covering all our activities and locations. The policy outlines our waste management processes and provides detailed definitions of key aspects of waste management assurance. Our QHSE department is responsible for its ongoing implementation. As the policy is the steering document for our internal way of working with waste and thus contains detailed guidance on waste handling and data reporting for our global waste operations, the policy is only accessible internally.

We are committed to continuously improving our practices to mitigate any potential negative impacts related to our use of biomass. All biomass sourced for our CHP plants must comply with our internal 'Sustainable forest biomass policy'. This policy mandates sourcing of certified biomass under internationally recognised schemes, such as SBP, FSC, or PEFC, ensuring the origination from well-managed production forests with an ongoing reforestation effort and adherence to sustainability standards through independent audits.
