Wood is our single most important raw material. That is why we only use wood from certified, sustainably managed forests where growth exceeds harvesting rates.

What is sustainable forestry?
Sustainable growth in Finland
Finnish commercial forests are called semi-natural forests. They are managed with forestry methods that mimic the natural course of life of a forest.
Sustainable growth in Uruguay
Most of the wood used in our Fray Bentos pulp mill comes from the company’s own plantations. The rest is procured from private landowners.
Seedlings from modern nurseries
UPM’s three nurseries in Uruguay and in Finland grow 50+ million high quality seedlings annually to ensure forest and plantation regeneration.
100% FSC™ and PEFC certified Chain of Custody
All UPM-owned forests are certified and 84% of all wood and wood fibre used in UPM's production units comes from certified forests.(FSC C014719, PEFC/02-31-80)
