In the pre-seen, under Commitment to Sustainability, one of the items is Carbon Neutrality.
My question is being the industry Wodd is in, shouldn't they be in carbon neutral/surplus situtation anyway? I mean through what possible sources are they incurring emissions that they need to reduce?
In another place it is mentioned they have carbon surplus-which makes more sense given that they are in a forestry business.

Mystery solved.
A growing forest removes CO2 from the atmosphere through photosynthesis,converting it into organic carbon which is stored in woody biomass. A forest’s ability to do this, decreases with age. When mature trees are harvested, CO2 is released until the newly planted saplings increase their uptake. Overall, the sustainable management of forests ensures that the overall flow of forest CO2 remains carbon positive.
