FSC certification shows Koskisen’s customers and users of the company’s products that the wood raw material used comes from forests managed in an ecologically, ethically and socially sustainable way. Use of the label also promotes sustainable forest management.
According to Koskisen’s Quality Manager Anna-Maaret Roppola, the certification process was launched some six months ago, and the certification was granted at the end of May.
“Receiving the certification makes business substantially easier in, for example, birch products, where it often is a prerequisite for a transaction. In Finland, forest farms are fairly small and privately owned, which makes the certification process slower. The increasing number of group certifications does, however, make life easier for forest owners and the volume of certified wood on the markets is on the rise,” Roppola says.
Koskisen is a family business committed to wood.
