The Tool for Sustainability Impact Assessment (ToSIA) is a decision-support software tool on issues related to the use of forest resources and the production and consumption of wood products. ToSIA analyses Forest Wood Chains as chains of production processes which are linked by products. Each process is characterized using indicators of environmental, social, and economic sustainability.

The tool quantifies sustainability impacts of decision alternatives in policies, management or technology in a transparent way to offer an objective platform for communication and argumentation about sustainable development in the forest based sector.

 The tool is available to members of the ToSIA Management and User Group.
