Including the one between net emissions and net withdrawals! VIDA CONTRIBUTES TO REDUCE THE AMOUNT OF CARBON DIOXIDE The entire sawmill industry , and not least VIDA, leaves a negative mark. Which is very positive - we create a net recording. Simplified, growing forests absorb carbon dioxide. In Sweden - where we operate - five trees are planted for each harvested. Even if we count low on a relationship of a tree felled against a plant that is allowed to grow to its full age, we leave a negative impression. Our felling, production and distribution emit less carbon dioxide than what the growing forest binds. Every cubic meter of wood that replaces other building materials reduces carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere by about 1.1 tonnes. VIDA CREATES MORE DIFFERENCE THAN THAT We transfer more of our transports to the railway. At present, about 25% of VIDA's total rail transport goes. Transport by rail instead of by truck reduces carbon dioxide emissions by 3/4 for each cubic meter transported. We also return organic material to the forest and we build up our own energy company, VIDA Energi, which uses all residues and creates emission-neutral energy. Energy that heats our facilities, but also many homes. OUR ENVIRONMENTAL CALCULATION IS NO SECRET So soon you will be able to see the entire VIDA group's carbon dioxide calculation and also be able to follow our work towards a gradually reduced carbon footprint.
