"We have worked together with UPM for a long time, and wood-based biofuels have been the most recent topic of our joint discussions. We agree on a number of matters. However, there are also issues that we disagree on, such as stump removal, and our dialogue on these issues continues," says Liisa Rohweder, CEO of WWF Finland.

UPM and WWF Finland are committed to jointly developing the RSB certification for wood-based biofuels by conducting a feasibility study on the certification of wood-based biofuels in UPM operations, which is based on the RSB requirements. The parties will jointly conduct a scientific forest carbon impact study related to wood-based biofuels. UPM and WWF Finland also commit to further developing the FSC standard and promoting its credibility and use in Finland.
