- Increased energy and raw material prices in 2022 (stabilized but remained high in 2023).
- Rise in wood burning for energy recovery, making access to raw materials harder.
- Climate change impacts such as drought, heavy rainfall, and forest fires affecting wood chip storage and timber extraction.
- Extreme weather events disrupting power supplies, road networks.
- Increased risk of more wood being burned to produce energy due to the energy shortage in Europe.

✅ Reported Environmental Achievements
- Reduced transport weight by approximately 1,000 tonnes/year for Huntonit roofing products (transition from wood fibreboard to cardboard packaging), resulting in a 60-tonne CO2 equivalent emission reduction.
- Increased volume of goods transported on electrified railways from 27% in 2022 to 31% in 2023, reducing approximately 1,000 MT CO2-eq/year.
- Converted Huntonit boiler systems to switch between gas and electricity, reducing CO2 equivalents by an amount equivalent to 214 passenger cars.
- Reduced energy consumption by around 0.45 GWh/year through frequency converters and optimized extraction system control.
- Completed installation of a district heating plant at Smartpanel, eliminating ash production and direct emissions.
- Near completion of LED lighting replacement throughout Huntonit factory, significantly reducing energy consumption.
- Installed a short wood jointer at Masonite Beams, increasing further processing and reducing raw material for bioenergy.
- Masonite Beams acquired seven electric company cars and an electric four-wheeler truck.
- Reduced ammonia consumption by over 80% in 2023 compared to 2021 at Forestia.
- Reduced transport weight by approximately 650 tonnes a year for Walls2Paint, reducing transport-based emissions by approximately 11 tonnes of CO2 equivalents per year.
🎯 Climate & Sustainability Targets
🔜 Short-term
- Transition to cardboard packaging for Huntonit wall products (Q1 2024).
- Complete LED luminaire replacement at Uldal (early 2024).
- Eliminate use of ammonia completely at Forestia (Q2 2024).
