谷歌因在芬兰两处数据中心项目中开展环保影响评估前即已进行大规模森林砍伐，被当地监管部门命令临时停工。1 芬兰许可监管部门（LVV）要求谷歌旗下公司在Muhos地区砍伐了330公顷森林、在Kajaani地区砍伐了接近200公顷森林后，立即暂停相关筹备措施，最晚不得超过10月23日。1 该部门同时要求谷歌在下周三前提交书面说明。1
谷歌对此做出回应，表示理解监管部门的关切，并承认该公司"未达自身高标准"。1 公司计划在Muhos地区种植130公顷树木作为补偿措施。1 若谷歌未能遵从停工命令，将面临执法诉讼和罚款。1 芬兰许可监管部门表示环保影响评估预计在今年晚些时候完成。1 这两处数据中心项目是谷歌规模达130亿欧元的投资计划的一部分，涉及芬兰北部多个地点。1
Google has been directed to suspend preparatory work on its datacenter projects in Finland following environmental compliance failures.1 The country's licensing authority issued the halt order after the company cleared substantial forest areas without completing required environmental impact assessments.1
Google's subsidiary felled approximately 330 hectares of forest in Muhos and nearly 200 hectares in Kajaani as part of the datacenter development preparations.1 The Finnish licensing and permit authority (LVV) demanded that the company cease environmentally damaging preparatory measures by October 23rd and submit a written explanation by the following Wednesday.1 An environmental impact assessment is expected to be completed later this year.1 Non-compliance could result in enforcement proceedings and financial penalties.1
The affected projects are part of Google's broader 13 billion euro investment initiative across multiple locations in northern Finland.1 In response, Google acknowledged the concerns and stated it had not met its own standards, pledging to plant 130 hectares of trees in the Muhos area.1
