We must work to ensure continuous improvement and be clear in the communication of our environmental profile to customers and the local community. Our activities affect our neighbourhood in several areas. In this report, you can read about what we produce, how we work to reduce the environmental footprint, our energy consumption and the results we achieve. As in previous years, we can show reductions in emissions and discharges and improvements in 2006 as well. When the year is summed up, the following factors will have contributed to improve productivity and environmental effects: • New production and emission/discharge permit, production volume increased to 450 000 tonnes and stricter emission and discharge requirements. • Decision made to expand the biological purification plant to reduce discharge to water. The plant will come online in the autumn of 2007 and will cost NOK 90 million. • Certification of our energy management system which commits us to rationalise energy consumption further. • Participation in the wood processing industry’s Program for Energy efficiency improvement where we commit ourselves to reducing electric energy consumption. • Moving the pulp plant from Union to Follum (TMP3). This will contribute to increased production stability and reduce the fluctuation in various emission and discharge components. The plant will come online in december 2007. Working environment, health and safety The injury statistics development has been good in the last few years. We had one lost time injury in December 2006, ending a 23-month period without injuries causing sick leave. The last few years’ positive development in sick leave continued in 2006. We hope that reading this report will familiarise you with our activities and what we focus on to achieve continuous improvement.
