Canfor Corporation is announcing the continuation of reduced operating schedules at its Western Canadian sawmills due to the ongoing global supply chain challenges. The Company has been operating at approximately 80% of production capacity since late March 2022. In addition, the Company will be implementing two weeks of rotating downtime across its primary sawmills in July and August, which will help align production capacity with the sustainable timber supply and transportation availability. The Company will use this downtime to complete maintenance projects and other site activities to help mitigate the impact on employees. These capacity reductions are expected to result in an incremental impact of approximately 275 million board feet by the end of August, in addition to the 100 million board feet reduction previously announced on March 30th.

From November 10 to 21, 2025, nations and organisations gathered in UN’s annual climate conference COP30 to discuss global climate action, including nature and communities. This year, the conference took place in Belém, Brazil, and Stora Enso was proud to be part of the Finland Pavilion. We partnered with Veracel, our Brazilian joint-operation with Suzano, that produces eucalyptus pulp for the needs of a circular bioeconomy. Now as a week has gone past since COP30, it’s time to take look at some of our key takeaways.
