In paper and board manufacturing, chemicals are needed for cooking, bleaching and improving the efficiency of production. They can also be used to stabilise processes and product quality.

The suppliers of these various chemicals are evaluated under a system known as COMPASS (Company Management Performance Assessment). The COMPASS database today includes 160 chemical suppliers and 287 manufacturing units. Almost 90% of the 73 suppliers assessed during 2002 exhibited suitable environmental management capabilities and were approved.
