8 WHY A NEW MILL? WHY IN FINLAND? 8

9 1. Growing demand for bleached softwood pulp Demand for softwood pulp million tonnes Global demand for bleached softwood pulp grows steadily Growth is strongest in Asia, especially in China +9% However, the Supply/Demand Balance of bleached softwood market pulp is expected to stay over 90%*, if current situation endures 9 * PPPC, Nov (incl. investment decisions made)

10 2. The use of Finnish wood can be increased sustainably million m³ Forest growth Industrial use of wood Sustainable harvesting potential Imported wood Use of domestic wood 10 Source: Finnish Forest Research Institute

16 WHY A BIOPRODUCT MILL? 16

17 Big picture Billion persons INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION Unprecedented economic and population growth Healthier people However, the development has not benefitted all and is really testing the limits of our planet WHERE ARE WE IN 50 YEARS? UN 2012 report by the High-level Panel on Global Sustainability: By 2030, the world will need at least 50% more food, 45% more energy and 30% more water all at a time when environmental boundaries are throwing up new limits to supply 17 Source: UN Population division
