Why Choose a Career at SCA?
What motivates our employees and helps them flourish at SCA? Here are some key reasons:
I was drawn to SCA because it is a large employer with many opportunities. I also like their values and work with sustainability. Another great thing is that they give back to the local community in which they operate.
Making a Real Difference
The forest is one of the most crucial tools in the fight against climate change, and SCA plays a significant role in transitioning to a sustainable society. Our growing forests sequester carbon dioxide, and our climate-smart products replace those made from fossil materials, helping customers worldwide reduce their fossil footprint. Working on something that makes a real difference adds an extra dimension to the job.
If you have done a good job and want to advance in your career, you will get the chance.
Understanding that people are the key to success
The commitment and willingness of our employees to grow are the key to our success. Without our employees, we are nothing.
An open, supportive work environment is crucial for our thriving. At SCA, we care about each other, and everyone should feel valued. Many of us have worked together for numerous years, some becoming friends for life.
We also understand the importance of a sustainable work life. The work-life balance must be maintained, and energy should not only be sufficient for work but also for a fulfilling leisure time.
Focus on development and innovation
Creativity, innovation, and development are always at the forefront for us. In recent years, we built the world's largest kraftliner machine and worked intensively on developing the future of bioenergy. These are significant investments for us, but our development goes beyond the big projects and innovations.
We continuously work on improvements in all our operations, whether it's more efficient processes, new products, smoother collaborations, or smarter work methods. If you want to work with innovations and improvements, you've come to the right place!
