Sustainable business objectives
We aim to create value that stands the test of time while contributing to a better climate.
A business that benefits the climate
Holmen does not distinguish between business targets and sustainability targets. We have sustainable business targets.
We contribute to a better climate. Our growing forests reduce the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere, our products replace fossil alternatives and our hydro power and wind power production contributes to the transition towards a renewable energy system.
We are growing a sustainable future rooted in nature. Inevitably, this means our business leaves footprints in the natural environment. We have a responsibility for the traces we leave behind and for the biodiversity in our landscape. Attaining our sustainable business targets depends on us keeping the land and the ecosystems flourishing.
Forest, industry and energy targets
With growing healthy forests, renewable energy production, resource- and energy-efficient production of renewable products and a values-driven corporate culture, we have great opportunities to contribute to sustainable development in line with the UN's goals.
Targets for climate, capital and dividends
Our single greatest contribution is that we contribute to a better climate. Both through our own operations and together with our customers.
8.3 million tonnes of climate benefit
We are part of a value chain that creates climate benefit in several stages of over 8 million tonnes of carbon dioxide in 2024. And it is clear that we create the greatest climate benefit when forest products replace fossil alternatives.
Climate targets in line with the Paris Agreement
Holmen has signed up to the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi), and our objectives to decrease greenhouse gas emissions are approved by SBT. This is because we want to show that we back the Paris Agreement and that we are doing our bit in driving sustainable development.
The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals
Holmen is an export company and part of Sweden’s basic industries.
With high carbon absorption and exports of climate-smart products, our contribution to sustainable development is global.
The challenges and the direct impact we have on the environment and people are largely local.
