Our responsibility in the value chain

Here you can see the various steps in the value chain, as well as how Woodsafe Timber Protection AB can contribute to making each step as climate-smart as possible.

We constantly work to review and, if possible, improve each step and place greater demands on our partners, in order to contribute to improved sustainability throughout the chain.

01. Business partner
  • High demands on suppliers to enter into a collaboration with an extensive process for supplier evaluation and follow-up.
  • Close dialogue and cooperation to achieve goals regarding human climate goals, rights and working environment.
  • Forest raw materials must come from sustainable forestry and new trees must be planted, which, when they start to grow, bind carbon dioxide again.
02. Sustainable forest raw material & biological diversity
  • Requirements for sustainable forest management.
  • Responsibility for biological diversity and regrowth.
03. Inbound and outbound transport, Scope 3
  • Indirect impact through emissions of greenhouse gases from transport to and from our operations.
  • In dialogue with partners and transport suppliers, work for joint deliveries and hire a transport supplier with a clear sustainability strategy, including conversion from fossil fuels to biofuel.
04. The refinement process
  • High requirements for the necessary permits for the introduction of chemicals and handling of waste.
  • High demands on sustainable and renewable energy.
  • Direct impact through production emissions to air.
  • Indirect impact through the production's energy consumption and use of fire impregnation chemicals.
05. Stakeholders & transport

Woodsafe Timber Protection AB:s mission

Woodsafe Timber Protection AB's mission to offer a sustainable value chain for the production of fire-resistant wood products permeates the company's operations, and guides how we think and how we act proactively. All over the world, awareness of the climate crisis is increasing and that a transition to a climate-neutral society is required.

Circular economy must go in and linear economy must go out. Woodsafe is not optimally positioned for these trends, but we have come a long way and we are in constant development to reach optimal positioning for these trends.

The increased demand for wood products with fire-resistant properties combined with our strong competitiveness creates opportunities and a strong foundation from which we can grow. The health and safety of people and property is our highest priority. In order to reach our goals, good profitability is a prerequisite for continuing to invest and step by step reaching our goals, where sustainable communities built from wood become a reality.

In the near term, profitability is created through efficiency in both production, communication and digitization, which drives development towards safe and stable production.
