At Holmen, we believe that the climate question has to be viewed holistically, across the entire system. Just like the UN’s Sustainable Development Goal 17, Partnerships for the Goals, it is through partnership and collaboration with new and existing customers and suppliers that we create the greatest climate benefit.
Holmen’s long-term, sustainable forestry contributes towards several of the climate goals of the European Green Deal, including a fossil-free, circular economy and a fossil-free, affordable and secure energy supply.
Holmen also contributes renewable energy production which is controllable, thanks to our hydro power and bioenergy. These controllable renewable energy sources, which can be stored and turned off and on, are needed as an injection when non-controllable renewable sources of energy such as wind and solar power are unable to supply electricity due to a lack of wind or sun. It is these value chains that we seek to highlight in our climate benefit reporting.
