Forest Stewardship
Arkhangelsk PPM manages forests responsibly, balancing industrial operations with the long-term protection and sustainable use of forest resources.
Our approach is aligned with the goals of Russia`s national Environmental Well-being project and its Forest Conservation initiative. Key priorities include:
- protecting high conservation value forests, including intact forest landscapes that play a vital role in climate regulation;
- establishing buffer zones around the habitats of rare and endangered species;
- implementing measures to reduce wildfire risks during forest operations.
Self-initiated Forest Certification
The company has always viewed voluntary certification as an important tool for building trust between producers and end consumers.
In 2026, we obtained our first certificate confirming the compliance of our supply chain with the requirements of international standards.
In 2022, following the withdrawal of international certification systems from Russia, Arkhangelsk PPM supported the initiative to establish a national forest certification system. In 2024, together with its partners participating in the group certification scheme, the company obtained certificates under the National Forest Certification System (NFCS).
The Forest Management Certification confirms the company`s commitment to responsible forest management principles.
The Supply Chain Management Certification confirms the legality and sustainability of the origin of wood and wood-based products at every stage — from raw materials to finished products.
Our Forest Seed Center
Our Forest Seed Center
The Arkhangelsk PPM Forest Seed Center is a key element of the company`s long-term forest restoration strategy, based on the principle: the amount of forests restored equals the amount harvested.
Opened in 2025, the Center is one of the most advanced forest nurseries in Russia. Its production capacity is 3.7 million seedlings per year, with the potential to increase to 9 million. The Center already accounts for 25% of all pine and spruce planting material produced in the Arkhangelsk Region. The use of container-grown seedlings with advanced root systems ensures high survival rates and successful establishment after planting.
Combining advanced technologies with a science-based approach, the Center grows pine and spruce seedlings for forest restoration projects across Russia — helping expand reforestation efforts and create green belts around cities
