Timber's contribution to climate protection and sustainability

Timber has always played a fundamental role in mankind's development. And timber will make an important contribution to dealing with current and future challenges for our economic and social systems. As a renewable resource and an environment and climate-friendly, not forgetting recyclable, construction material, timber has some convincing arguments in its favour, not just in comparison to non-regenerative raw materials.

Sustainable forest management and the use of renewably grown and used timber products make an efficient contribution to maintaining biodiversity and climate protection.

The positive experience of forests helps maintain society's relationship to this ecosystem, and is most certainly an important basis for its long-term conservation.

In view of the numerous advantages of timber usage, the forestry and timber industry can continue to make an important contribution to achieving a sustainable, environment and climate-friendly economic system and lifestyle.
