THE INCREASINGLY IMPORTANT
ROLE OF FOREST INDUSTRIES


Kari Jordan,
President and CEO of the Metsäliitto Group and Chairman of the Board of the Finnish Forest Industries Federation strongly recommends participation in the Koli Forum:

”For the modern, bio-economy oriented society, the development of forest industry built on renewable forest resources is assuming an increasingly important role. This calls for comprehensive international dialogue to identify common values and goals, and the Koli Forum provides an excellent platform for this discussion.”
