During the Assembly, EOS members elected their new leadership, expressing deep gratitude to outgoing President Herbert Joebstl for his outstanding four-year commitment to advancing the organisation’s mission. The newly elected President, Tommi Sneck, Timber Industry Director at Koskisen Oyj (Finland), shared a forward-looking vision:

“My goal is to continue building on the solid foundation laid by Herbert and the Board, while also leading EOS into the future—one shaped by both opportunities and new challenges. Among these are the evolving EU initiatives around nature credits and LULUCF, which will demand both technical expertise and political engagement from our side. At the same time, we must seize the transformative potential of the bioeconomy. Europe is calling for sustainable, resilient value chains—our sector can, and should, be at the heart of this transition. EOS will continue to be a forward-looking and proactive voice, supporting our members, engaging institutions, and promoting wood as the material of the future.”
