The forest and the resource-efficient use of raw materials create the conditions for sustainability, growing forests with good conditions for biodiversity, and increasingly greater climate benefits. Therefore, it will be very exciting to work at SCA, Europe’s largest private forest owner, which through its forestry holdings creates great benefits for both Sweden and the local communities in which the company operates, says Per Funkquist.

At SCA, sustainability work is an integrated part of the business and is based on six priority areas that encompass social, economic, and environmental goals.

The purpose is for the company’s operations to create the maximum possible value, both in the forest and through the renewable products created from the forest raw material. 

Anders Edholm, SVP Sustainability and Communications, therefore, sees the role as strategically important.
