Sustainability.
Caring for the environment is an integral part of our operations. Wood, as a sustainable material, is just one aspect of our commitment – every day, we work to foster the long-term development of a sustainable society.
We continuously strive to reduce our climate footprint by implementing the latest technologies and more efficient solutions. At the same time, we actively encourage our partners to adopt environmentally friendly practices, creating a responsible and sustainable supply chain.
Certifications.
Bitus Latvia holds two chain-of-custody certifications: FSC® C020146 and PEFC/12-31-056.
We comply with FSC and PEFC requirements, ensuring that our wood materials are not sourced from forests where traditional rights or human rights are violated, from regions and habitats of high conservation value, or from natural forests that have been converted into plantations or non-forested land. We also prohibit sourcing wood from illegal logging or genetically modified trees.
Our priority is sustainable and responsible forestry that preserves resources for future generations.

Natural cycle.
A sustainable approach to resources and the circular economy.
Our sustainability strategy is based on responsible resource management and the principles of the circular economy. We use raw materials sourced exclusively from sustainably managed forests located near our production facilities in the Baltic Sea region. Thanks to responsible forestry, these resources are continuously renewed, ensuring a sustainable material flow.
We invest in forest planting and management, promoting the production of high-value-added products with long service life. All production residues are efficiently recycled or used as bioenergy, optimizing the use of natural resources. The carbon released during combustion is stored in a controlled environment, supporting forest regeneration and reducing environmental impact in the long term.
Our approach ensures a responsible and sustainable production cycle, where natural resources are used with maximum efficiency while fostering environmentally friendly development.
