Forest resources are the foundation of our work.Wood. Expertise. Responsibility.

Forest resources are the foundation of our work. We focus on material choices, reuse and quality throughout the process, with responsibility for both the environment and the people in our business.

Our responsibility

Growing
responsibly.

As GLF grows, so does our responsibility towards the environment, society and the people around us. We want to develop the business for the long term and use resources as efficiently as possible.

Pallets and packaging solutions need to work in our customers' everyday operations. Choosing materials for the intended use, developing designs and retaining pallets that can be used again are practical ways to manage resources.

Environmental work in practice

Make the most
of the material's
potential.

We manufacture nearly half a million pallets for customers in sectors including plastics, food, building materials and agricultural technology. Most of our packaging is manufactured for export. We take back and sell more pallets than we manufacture.

Materials suited to their purpose

The right material.

Raw materials and material choices are part of the design. Tell us your requirements for timber, function and documentation, and we will help you find suitable packaging.

More uses for pallets

More uses.

We collect used wooden pallets, sort them and repair those that can be used again. This keeps usable pallets in circulation.

Wooden pallets – material worth reusing.

Residual material for energy

Make use of what remains.

Shavings and sawdust from woodworking are sold for heat production. Wooden pallets that have reached the end of their useful life can also go to energy recovery.

Quality through follow-up

Review. Improve.

We work with goals, action plans and continual improvement. Quality, the environment and occupational health and safety are part of our ongoing work.

An example from our operations

The same water.
Two seasons.

Heating and cooling with groundwater

One example of our environmental work is groundwater-based heating and cooling. Water is drawn from a depth of 45 metres and pumped to a depth of 85 metres. The same water cools the premises in summer and heats them in winter. The system does not use Freon refrigerants.

Supplier Code of Conduct

Our Code of Conduct sets out our expectations of our suppliers.

Supplier Code of Conduct · Version 3 | 2024

What GLF expects from its suppliers

GLF’s Supplier Code of Conduct sets out requirements and aspirations for responsible business throughout the supply chain. It covers people, business conduct and the environment. The summary below accompanies the full English code.

People and working conditions
The code requires respect for human rights, equal treatment and pay, lawful wages and working hours, freedom of association, and safe working conditions. It prohibits discrimination, harassment, child labour, forced labour and human trafficking. It also addresses the rights of local communities and the use of security forces. See pages 4–5.
Responsible business
Suppliers must conduct business fairly, maintain accurate financial records, prevent corruption, respect fair competition, disclose conflicts of interest and comply with applicable export controls and sanctions. The code also covers information security, personal data, intellectual property, confidentiality and information requested by GLF. See pages 7–8.
Climate, materials and environmental protection
The code requires compliance with applicable environmental laws and addresses greenhouse-gas emissions, responsible sourcing, waste and air quality. It encourages suppliers to measure and reduce emissions, improve energy efficiency, increase renewable energy, support circularity, manage water use and assess biodiversity impacts. These expectations are not evidence of a particular product’s footprint or certification. See pages 10–12.
Forest raw materials
Suppliers must ensure that forest raw materials do not contribute to deforestation or degradation of forests, land and soil, and that their source forests are managed sustainably. The code says these materials should be PEFC- or FSC-certified and/or FLEGT-licensed; otherwise suppliers should provide information demonstrating equivalent quality and characteristics on request. This supplier expectation does not certify every GLF product. See page 11.
Follow-up and improvement
GLF reserves the right to verify compliance before agreements and to conduct audits during a contract. Suppliers must investigate identified non-compliance, inform GLF immediately and cooperate in resolving it. The code also encourages a reporting process without retaliation and passing similar expectations to upstream suppliers. See page 13.

Read the full Supplier Code of Conduct (PDF, English, 13 pages). The full document contains the detailed wording and distinguishes mandatory requirements from aspirations. This summary reflects Version 3 | 2024, reviewed on 9 October 2026.
