SCA’s forests must be at least as rich in biodiversity, nature experiences and raw material in the future as they are today. The Group target 2030: 100 percent of the wood raw material must come from responsibly managed 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.
Our responsible forestry combines high production of valuable renewable raw material with extensive consideration to the forest's other values – biodiversity, reindeer husbandry, ancient and cultural remains, experiences and much more.
SCA's forest management is certified according to both FSC® and PEFC. This means that we comply with the guidelines for responsible forestry.
Limiting global warming is one of the greatest challenges of our time. As a forest company, we are one part of the solution. Firstly, as trees in our forests grow and capture and bind CO₂. Thereafter, as our sustainable raw materials are turned into products that replace those that leave a broader carbon footprint. In this way, oil and coal can remain underground.
