We are one of the shareholders of Puuinfo Oy.
We are a member in the European Confederation of the Woodworking Industries CEI-Bois and the Eurowindoor ASBL.
Our tasks
Main activity areas are lobbying on national and European level, standardisation, R&D coordination, environmental matters and communication.
Our aim is to help to initiate and support policies that enable and promote the use of wood in Finland. That is done in cooperation with the Ministries and other public stakeholders. We are contributing to the Wood Construction Programme in the current governamental programme. One of our priorities is the education policies that should take into consideration the future needs of our sector when providing education and training on all levels.
The standardisation of wood products is handled by The Confederation of Finnish Construction Industries RT on our behalf. We are active in the standardisation groups TC 33, TC 38, TC 112, TC 124, TC 175 and the TC 250 Eurocodes.
The R&D coordination activities stem from the discontinuation of the work of the Wood Research Council. Main activity is to follow the financing available and to point out important issues. An important task is to raise awareness of research needs and help the stakeholders to find partners in projects. In that the main tools is our research portal. It is a place where research units may feed information on planned, on-going or finished projects. The portal can be used also in English.
Environment
Our aim is to create awareness of the environmental benefits using wood brings in construction. One important tool there are the environmental product declarations, EPD's, that we promote.
