The selected forest products companies have CSR programs which address the three pillars of sustainability: environmental, social and economic aspects. The following CSR processes were identified in the selected forest products companies: community development and communication, corporate governance and law compliance, code of ethics and business conduct, environmental management, health and safety programs, human resources process, human rights, supply chain management, products and services quality, arts and culture programs, independent CSR organization, anti corruption policy, and CSR report.
