What sustainability means to us

By using carbon dioxide, sunlight and water, trees create a sustainable raw material. They provide us with everything from timber to build houses to energy to heat our homes.

SCA takes care of our forests so they grow vigorously. This means they are constantly binding more carbon dioxide, while we have access to more climate-smart material.  
And when we harvest a tree, we ensure that we use every part of the entire tree in the best possible way, from the most valuable sawlogs to bark and sawdust. It means we can maximize the benefits – and minimize wastage. We also do as much good as possible for the climate.

The forest provides not only valuable raw materials, but many more values than this. It provides a haven for many flora and fauna, creates jobs, offers fantastic nature experiences and increases our sense of well-being. We ensure that the species that inhabit our forests can continue to do so while also protecting and developing the forest’s other values.

We create as much value as possible – both in the forest and from the renewable raw materials from the forest. With the force of the forest, we contribute to a sustainable society.
