For the European Union, Finland and also for the forest industry, it is imp ortant that the environmental facts concerning industrial activity are made public. Following this principle is also an effective wa to create greater trust between industrial operators and society. The Finnish forest industr y has been a forerunner in this field, and is new publishing environmental investment, emission and production figures for each mill for the tenth tim e. Many countries are still only just introducing this practice, but the tr end is towards a more open provision of information.
