Environmental responsibility

To us, climate action is not just a commitment—it’s a catalyst for transformation. As a global leader in engineered wood product technologies, we recognize our responsibility to reduce environmental impact and lead by example. We are actively reducing emissions across our operations, innovating for resource efficiency, and investing in renewable energy to ensure that our solutions not only serve our customers but also safeguard our planet. Through transparency, collaboration, and continuous improvement, we are shaping a more sustainable future—one veneer, one panel, one breakthrough at a time. 

Driving change for a greener tomorrow

We have committed to substantially reducing greenhouse gas emissions across our own operations. By 2030, we aim to cut Scope 1 emissions by 50% and Scope 2 emissions by 80%, using 2024 as the baseline year. These emission reduction targets are in line with limiting global warming to 1.5 degrees in accordance with the Paris Agreement. We are also committed to sourcing 100% renewable electricity for all our sites by 2028. These targets are supported by concrete actions such as electrifying our vehicle fleet and forklifts, optimizing energy use in manufacturing, and modernizing production lines to enhance resource efficiency. We are also researching the best ways to reduce our indirect Scope 3 emissions from our value chain, further extending our climate responsibility to include our suppliers and customers. These efforts reflect our ambition to lead the engineered wood industry toward a low-carbon future. 

Circularity

We strive to maximize resource efficiency with innovative and intelligent solutions that support our customers’ efficient consumption of energy and wood. We enable circularity by providing customers with efficient, long-lasting, repairable, and modernizable production solutions and services that save energy while maximizing yield and minimizing production waste. Raute production lines are designed for disassembly and can be reused and recycled. 

• Analyzers business enables maximized resource efficiency and end-product quality, optimizing energy consumption and minimizing waste.
• The MillSIGHTS software, used for tracking production line efficiency and quality control, aims to optimize energy consumption and waste minimization. 
• We offer planned repairs, consultation services, and upgrades for existing equipment.
• We provide modernizations (larger upgrades that extend the life span of the whole line or part of the machine) for Raute’s own products and also for other brands. Analyzer projects are also modernizations that prolong the product life cycle. 
• By providing spare parts, we help extend the life span of the equipment and improve overall efficiency.  
• By request, we also offer re-sale and refurbishment services for customers.
