Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget (SCA), a leading Swedish forest products company, received a Gold medal in EcoVadis' sustainability assessment, strengthening its position among top performers. This recognition highlights SCA's excellence across environment, labor & human rights, ethics, and sustainable procurement. SCA's sustainability strategy emphasizes climate-positive operations through growing forests absorbing more CO2 than emissions, bio-based products replacing fossil alternatives, and 100% FSC/PEFC certified forestry. Recent achievements include CDP A-List placement for Climate and Forests in 2025, lowest-ever damage to cultural remains at 1.4%, and Carnegie Sustainability Award. Projects like Obbola's pulp mill modernization reduce fossil fuels and boost renewable packaging, while Timrå biorefinery supplies district heating, cutting 18,000 tonnes CO2 annually.
