Norbord's new innovative "Better By Nature" campaign, explained in a brand new website, www.betterbynature.org.uk , encapsulates the company's commitment to the environment to the environment and, in particular, the protection of the UK's forests. Norbord is a leading voice in the biomass debate which has seen the Government and DECC come under pressure to review the Renewables Obligation which incentivises the burning of wood to create electricity.
Topics covered and explained include The Renewables Obligation where Norbord is asking why energy companies are being subsidised to burn Britain's virgin trees; Imported plywood which covers the preservation of the world's rainforests and, by default, endangered animal and plant species; and Illegally-Felled Timber legislation which addresses the importance of provenance and sustainable timber production.
As one of the largest producers of panel products in Europe, Norbord is embracing the responsibility of being at the forefront of environmental initiatives, as well as social, internal and health and safety programmes.
