In 2021, SCA has identified the issues that are important for the forest products company SCA and its stakeholders.
Fossil-free world
SCA produces and sells renewable products that can replace fossil-based alternatives and thereby contribute to reducing global warming. SCA also contributes to climate benefit through the net growth of the company’s forests, which absorb CO[2] from the atmosphere, and by continuously striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own value chain.
Valuable forests
Forest is an important part of the earth’s ecosystem. SCA conducts responsible forest management to preserve and develop biodiversity and the forest’s recreational values while securing longterm access to renewable forest raw materials. The company plays an active role in developing forest operations that promote low-impact forestry methods and maintain or enhance conservation values. SCA encourages and helps other forest owners to adopt responsible forest management.
Efficient use of resources
SCA continuously strives to improve its resource efficiency, which contributes to better profitability while also being economical with the planet’s resources and reducing the impact on the environment. Water is an essential resource and we safeguard access to clean water by minimizing our emissions. We work continuously to minimize waste and look for new uses for the company’s waste streams. Through innovation and product development, products are created that contribute to greater material efficiency for the company’s customers.
Responsibility for people and the community
Employees are the company’s most important resource. SCA secures the future need of expertise by developing employees and being an inclusive and attractive employer that puts health and safety first. Through the business, jobs are generated, both directly and indirectly. SCA develops together with, and contributes to, the communities in which the company operates.
Values
To be a credible and transparent company, business is based on a shared set of values derived from SCA’s core values of respect, responsibility and excellence that are described in SCA’s Code of Conduct, which all employees are to comply with. It is to permeate the company’s business relationships and interaction with stakeholders. SCA aims to establish a sustainable supply chain with suppliers and contractors that share the company’s values.
Profitable growth
Long-term profitability requires sustainable and profitable growth in a responsible manner. The forest forms the core of SCA’s operations and profitable growth is created as the renewable forest resource grows and by increasing the value generated by each tree.
