Sustainable - in everything we do – starting

with our raw materials, our processes, our actions

Capital Intensive – intelligent investments

and cost reduction are everyday concerns – clever definition of technology of production units

Extremely Competitive - costs, energy

management, product differentiation, services, knowledge management (human knowledge doubling

every 9 months – in Bioenergy , every 3 months !)

It is cheaper to produce in Southern Hemisphere

  • Research and Technological developments have led to significant

planted forest productivity gains ( genetics + forest management ) in the last 35 years - from 20 to 40-50 m³/ha/year

  • Shorter harvesting cycles
  • Short distances from planted forests to pulp mills

Low costs and fiber quality - key factors for competitiveness

  • Large scales - dilution of fixed production and distribution costs
  • Pulp quality : developed technology for differentiation/ new

fiber uses

  • Modern, 'state of the art' production units

Capital costs

  • Even with a relative disadvantage for the southern hemisphere

producers, the region still displays a significant structural advantage

  • Smart solutions must be applied to every production line, and this

requires experienced, competent human resources
