Northern ToSIA
Northern ToSIA investigates options for improving the sustainable use of forest resources in selected regions of the Northern Periphery in Finland, Sweden, Scotland and Norway. The investigation will be done by using an innovative sustainability impact assessment tool, ToSIA (Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment).
The improved tool will be the product and services delivered by Northern ToSIA. This tool will be used with the applications as part of the regional development and corporate social responsibility reporting in the companies. The tool could be a decision support system for decision makers in the companies and the regions.
