NATURAL RESOURCES AS AN
                           OPPORTUNITY FOR FINLAND


                                We are today living in a
                                transitional period, when
                                resources and knowledge need to
                                be combined in new ways to
                                improve controls over natural
                                resource use.




Finland has opportunities to
gain a competitive
advantage, enhance well-
being, and bear global
responsibility, by pioneering
such changes.
                                                                  8

A vision for 2030:
By using natural resources
intelligently, Finland thrives and
leads the way.
The concept of using resources intelligently relates to innovativeness,
sustainability and responsibility, which will all be vital for future success.

Natural resources can be utilised as a source of well-being and a basis for
sustainable economic activities that also safeguard the environment and its
biodiversity.

Leading the way relates to taking an exploratory and pioneering role in
international policy-making and business contexts.

                                                                                              10

Strategic goals :

1. Finland has a thriving bioeconomy
   generating high added value.
  ” A bioeconomy for the new generation can
  provide a wide range of business opportunities,
  applying innovations based on the conversion of
  different kinds of biomass into various fibres and
  chemical compounds, and on innovations based
  on biological processes..”

  ” The bioeconomy provides a wide range of
  opportunities to utilise natural resources by
  applying and reproducing biological processes in
  sustainable ways.”

Strategic goals:

2. Finland utilises and
   recycles material flows
   effectively.
  ” The resources to be utilised by society
  should be kept within the economic
  system for long periods, so as to
  maximise added value and minimise the
  quantities of valuable materials that
  permanently leave the economic
  system.”

  ” The product planning phase is critical
  for material use throughout product life
  cycles.”

Strategic goals:

3. Regional resources generate
   both national added value
   and local well-being.

  ” Natural resources in rural areas
  are both a considerable asset for
  society, and an important basis for
  industrial activities. Future success
  will be based on our awareness of
  the interlinkages between different
  areas, and the ways their different
  resources can be combined.”

  responsibility.”

LEADING THE STRATEGY




The strategy’s vision
and goals can only be
achieved with the
help of a dynamic
leadership model,
where goal-setting,
implementation,
evaluation and
development work
are all seen as parts
of a single continuous
process.




                                                17
The strategy is implemented
through selected steps
leading towards long-term
goals.
