SCA creates 100 million new climate-beneficial trees every year
SCA delivers some 100 million tree seedlings every year – seedlings that drive SCA’s climate benefit of approximately 13 million tonnes a year. First, they sequester carbon dioxide while they grow and ultimately they contribute sustainable wood raw materials for a wide variety of products. “Trees are efficient carbon dioxide sinks and generate climate benefits over many years,” says Thomas Vestman, Nursery Director.
Where climate-benefit-rich forests of the future are created
With a combination of well-managed forests and high-quality cultivated seedlings, the size of Sweden’s forests increase every year.

SCA introduces Revenue Sharing for Residents Near Wind Farms
SCA has decided to take the lead ahead of the government report "The Value of Wind" (SOU 2023:18) by implementing its own compensation model, inspired by the report's proposals, for residents living near new wind farms developed by the company. The amount of compensation will be based on the distance to the turbine and the revenue generated by the turbine. "The proposal from the report is well-balanced, and that’s why we want to take the lead in this area. However, our view is that increased electricity production and resolution of the conflicts of interest that follow require state ownership of a well-designed regulatory framework. It needs to address how companies share revenue with nearby residents, how the state shares existing taxes with municipalities, and how processes to upgrade existing parks can be managed significantly faster," says Martin Ingels, Head of Wind Power at SCA.

Most or least protected forest?
EU Member States report on measures to protect forests and nature in various ways. Sweden stands out with its very strict view of what constitutes protection. “As a result of this, Sweden appears to be the worst in Europe; however, were we to report in the same way as many other countries, we would be viewed as a pioneer. The same problem applies to how we report the status of different habitats, something that can have major consequences for how we can cultivate Swedish forests in future,” says Linda Eriksson, Forest Director at the Swedish Forest Industries Federation.

Magasinet - the first office building in Linköping constructed of wood, was built with a 54 percent reduction in climate impact compared to if the building had been built with concrete. The climate benefit of building with wood instead of fossil-heavy materials is significant, making it an excellent choice even for larger buildings to be constructed with greater amounts of wood.
