Responsibility is one o our leading values in all operations. In orest utilization this means that all logged areas are replanted.

In raw material sourcing, Kontio buys timber rom the Finnish State Forest Enterprise, which has obtained the international

PEFC label (Programme or the Endorsement o Forest Certication) standing or sustainable orestry. The requirements o

PEFC are based on international principles and goals approved by several States. Finland is one o the leading countries in

Kontio uses veritable close-grained arctic pine, which is the best and strongest material or log housing. Our pine grows on a dry and nutrient-poor soil,

such as sand and morainic soils, but it also thrives in a stony and rocky ground. Its growth zone covers the whole northern hemisphere. This arctic wood

species needs plenty o light and clean air in order to grow healthily. Northern Finland oers all these geological and climatic characteristics better than

any other region in the world. We purchase the pine rom local orests, thus minimizing the transportation needs o the raw-material. The location o the

actory is optimal, thereore Kontio Log Houses cause only minimal stress to the environment.
