SCA and seven other Swedish forest companies as well as the forest machinery manufacturer Komatsu Forest, have jointly developed a new forest machine for low-impact forestry. The concept machine, called Centipede - has with its innovative technology three important benefits: Lower soil compaction, increased productivity and better work environment. The machine is built to reduce the risk of ground damage, to increase transport speed and to reduce whole-body vibrations for the operator.
Read more about the CentipedeOn 17-19 May, the annual event Sweden's Innovation Symposium will be held. This year, Sundsvall is the host and SCA is main partner of the symposium. During the conference, SCA will participate with several speakers and we get the opportunity to present how we are driving innovation and to describe our sustainability platform. The visitors will also be invited to a guided excursion showing SCA’s operations and our forestry.

Limiting global warming is one of today's biggest challenges. As a forest company, we want to contribute and be part of the solution. Now we set a new goal and increase our climate benefit from 10 to 15 million tons of carbon dioxide per year by 2030 (base year 2019). The long-term goal is a fossil-free value chain. By 2030, we have set the goal of halving fossil emissions in the value chain.
The forest of the future
Sustainability is integrated into the entire business and part of SCA's business concept. See more about our work with sustainability in this movie.
The forest – changes and remains the same
The forest changes and remains the same, century by century. In today’s forest you may read where it came from and how. You may also read what it will become. We ourselves are part of the dynamics of the forest, as we have tried to catch in this film.
With the overall goal to maximize value creation, SCA uses a long-term and systematic approach to developing its value chain. Investments in the industrial structure must be profitable on their own merits and add value throughout the chain.
