"" Nordea considers controversial pulp mill project investment
Tuesday, 12 January 2010 08:48 RC/JH .Nordea Bank not yet decided over investment in an Australian pulp mill which environmentalists say is unsustainable

The Wilderness Society, Aawaz.org and Danish organisation Nepenthes have criticised Nordea, as the mill would be operated by Australian timber company Gunns Limited.

Environmental organisation Avaaz, as part of an email petition to persuade Nordea CEO Christian Clausen not to invest in the project, says the company is notorious for its destructive practices. Another forest protection organisation, Nepenthes, said Nordea should not involve itself with the project.

Gunns Limited clears woodland by using napalm to burn huge areas to make room for their plantations. That Nordea is considering investing in such a company is outrageous, Jacob Ryding, spokesman for Nepenthes, told the newspaper.

But Gunns have vehemently denied the allegations, which they describe as unsubstantiated and false.

Napalm is not used by the company. Gunns Limited adheres to the strictest environmental standards set down by the Australian Government, and in contrast to the false claims regarding deforestation, the company is actually the largest planter of trees in Australia, said the spokesman. Gunns Limited is fully certified by the Australian Forestry Standard, Australias leading sustainable forest use standard, he added.

Nordea emphasised it had not made any firm decision yet as to whether it would invest in the mill. But a company spokesman said that the bank would not finance projects whose operations went against internationally accepted norms. ""

Again, absolute ........ !
AND they get away with it!
AND these majors think they have to listen and obey?

Getting so false, our Gvt'S need to put the record straight!
Need to squash more of the false rumors!
Thanks to great mgt ~ 100% re-growth! No destructive practice here.

Hey guys, this is project is at the fore-front of advancing aussie company in this global industry.
Again, absolutely amazed!
And for those doubters, I am a fellow investor; NOT a gunns employee!
