Substitution impacts of wood‐based textile fibers
Wood products may help to avoid fossil emissions when they substitute for more fossil‐intensive products. However, the estimates of avoided fossil emissions attributed to wood use tend to be based on incomplete market assumptions. Wood products are assumed to fully substitute for non‐wood products, yet substitution rarely occurs 1:1 and wood products can also substitute for each other. This study outlines a systematic procedure grounded on econom…
Targeting net climate benefits by wood utilization in Finland
Impact of structural changes in wood‐using industries on net carbon emissions in Finland
Forests and forest industries can contribute to climate change mitigation by sequestering carbon from the atmosphere, by storing it in biomass, and by fabricating products that substitute more greenhouse gas emission intensive materials and energy. The objectives of the study are to specify alternative scenarios for the diversification of wood product markets and to determine how an increasingly diversified market structure could impact the net c…
Benefits and challenges of streamlined life-cycle assessment for SMEs – findings from case studies on climate change impacts
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) have a substantial role in the economy and job creation, but they are a remarkable source of environmental impacts. SMEs often lack skills and resources to compile environmental impact assessments; Streamlined Life Cycle Analysis (LCA) can provide efficient tools for this. An application of streamlined LCA relying heavily on database data, LCA clinic, was developed and tested on 23 SMEs in Finland. The cl…
Sustainability assessment tools – their comprehensiveness and utilisation in company-level sustainability assessments in Finland
Companies have a central role in the transition towards more sustainable economic systems, as they are one of the major sources of environmental impacts, economic activity and social development. Various tools are available to support sustainability assessments, but there is little information on how suitable they are for company-level assessments and how companies use them in real-life applications. The article examines some of the commonly used…
Expert Panel Weighting and Aggregation of the Sustainable Society Index (SSI) 2010 – a Decision Analysis Approach
A sustainable society index (SSI) has been designed to measure the sustainability of different countries in terms of economic, environmental and human well‐being dimensions. These areas were subdivided into eight categories and 24 indicators. The paper shows that the SSI could be considered as a decision‐making problem with multiple objectives. We propose a decision‐analysis approach for estimation of the weights of indicators, categories and dim…
Cultural sustainability in reference to the global reporting initiative (GRI) guidelines
Purpose – Forest industries affect cultural sustainability profoundly, but little information exists on integration of cultural sustainability aspects into their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) management. Global Reporting Initiative (GRI) guidelines comprising assessments of economic, ecological and social aspects are one of the most comprehensive CSR frameworks applied widely also in forest industries. The purpose of this paper is to eval…
