SCA – Europe’s largest private forest owner
with an integrated industrial business

As a shareholder, you receive:

 

Stable and profitable value growth over time
SCA is Europe’s largest private forest owner with 2.6 million hectares of forest land. As a resource, the forest yields stable profitability and value growth. Since 1956, the forest assets have provided an annual total return of about 10%. Globally, forest land is a limited resource.

Increased demand for renewable products
Forest has an increasingly important role to play in the transition to a more sustainable society. Renewable products, such as biofuels, packaging paper and solid-wood products, made using trees from SCA’s forests can replace fossil fuels, plastics and concrete. SCA manufactures products for which there is longterm growing demand and that meet rigorous sustainability and quality demands.

 

Efficient use of resources
SCA is a forest company with modern, well-invested industries close to its forest holdings. The strong project portfolio comprising forest and industrial investments guarantees profitable growth over time. SCA uses the entire tree in an industrial ecosystem, ensuring an efficient use of resources, at the same time as competitive industries have a high payment capacity for forest raw materials and guarantee the long-term value of the forest.

SCA contributes climate benefits
Growing forest binds CO2. Combined with higher production of renewable products and investments in sustainable technology, SCA’s climate benefit can increase in the future. In 2022, the total climate benefit from SCA’s forest and manufacturing industries amounted to 10.1 million tonnes of CO₂.
