Lessebo Paper AB is committed to sustainability and is working proactively with its suppliers to ensure full compliance with the European Union Deforestation-free products Regulation (EUDR), building on its existing adherence to the EU Timber Regulation (EUTR). The company is actively collecting and verifying comprehensive data on timber-derived raw materials in collaboration with its pulp supplier, Södra Cell, to ensure traceability and transparency across its supply chain.
In alignment with EUDR requirements, Lessebo Paper AB is dedicated to ensuring that all wood-based materials used are harvested sustainably, without contributing to deforestation or forest degradation after December 31, 2020. This commitment supports its broader sustainability goals.
Lessebo Paper AB aims to fully implement the EUDR by December 30, 2024. Additionally, the company is preparing for an automated transfer of compliance data into the EU TRACES system to streamline its processes. Lessebo Paper AB holds both Forest Stewardship Council (FSC©) and Programme for the Endorsement of Forest Certification (PEFC™) Chain of Custody certifications, reflecting its longstanding commitment to responsible sourcing. These certifications, along with compliance with the EUTR and forthcoming EUDR, are verified through independent yearly audits, ensuring that its practices meet the highest environmental and ethical standards.
