Nasdaq's BWise GRC Platform Selected by grupo Portucel Soporcel to Further Enhance Its Risk Management Processes - Seite 2

The Group has successfully pursued a strategy of innovation and development of its own brands, which today account for 62% of sales of manufactured products. Special mention should be made of the Navigator brand, the world's best-selling product in the premium office paper segment. The Group's sales are made to 127 countries over five continents, with Europe and the United States as the two main destinations.

As a vertically integrated forestry group with its own forestry research institute, it leads the world in the genetic improvement of the Eucalyptus globulus. It manages vast tracts of forest in Portugal certified under the FSC® and PEFC(TM) systems (FSC license C010852 and PEFC license 13-23-001), and boasts annual production capacity for 1.6 million tons of paper, 1.4 million tons of pulp (of which 1.1 million is integrated into paper), and power generation of 2.5 TWh, adding up to annual turnover of approximately 1.5 billion euros.

The Group operates one of Europe's largest nurseries for forestry plants, with annual production capacity of approximately 12 million certified plants of various species, destined for use in renewing Portugal's woodlands.

In keeping with its strategy of international expansion, the Group is currently investing in a major vertically integrated forestry project in Mozambique set to culminate in the construction of a cellulose pulp mill, a capital project worth 2.3 billion dollars, as well as a pellets factory in the USA.
