Sažetak
Energy costs, energy supply and climate change are some of the important issues impacting the future of the forest-based industry. They will influence the manufacturing costs, as well as the allocation of investments around the globe. It seems, however, that in the industry the crucial knowledge on the state of the art is missing. The chain of the energetic sector very often bypasses the correct management strategy and is therefore not optimally efficient. This paper underlines the need for a strategic approach in energy management and discusses the guidelines that can assist, among other, the paper industry in improving its energy and financial performance. The guidelines are based on the successful practices of Energy Star’s partnership, which consists of four major factors: targeting, implementation, monitoring and adjustment. Climate change mitigation policy will add an extra force to all these developments and the companies (not only in papermaking sector) will move forward towards the application of modern, conscious management strategies.
