Suecia duplica su masa forestal en menos de 100 años gracias a la industria maderera
El 70% del territorio sueco está cubierto por bosques, pero lo más llamativo es que en menos de un siglo nórdico ha duplicado su masa forestal. Lo que más sorprende es que Suecia proporciona el 10% de la madera del comercio mundial. Una madera que se utiliza para fabricar papel, para la construcción de muebles o a modo de leña para generar calor.
Por tanto, la pregunta es ¿cómo es posible que Suecia duplique su masa forestal al mismo tiempo que genera el 10% de la madera consumida anualmente en todo el mundo?

Small business owners in troubles when bigger companies take time with paying bills (YLE)
Summary:
YLE reports about the problems small business owners are facing if larger companies are late paying their bills. The practice is increasingly common. Among other things, the automation giant ABB has recently turned to several Finnish companies with a letter where the company announces that the payment period is extended to 90 days. When asked about its payment terms, Stora Enso's communications director Satu Härkönen responded that "these are confidential terms of agreement that we negotiate and agree on." Third parties are not informed about them.
