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

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.
