SCA also contributes to climate benefit through the net growth of the company’s forests, which capture CO2 from the atmosphere, and by continuously striving to reduce greenhouse gas emissions from its own value chain. Fossil-free world SCA’s operations are climate positive and contribute in several ways towards important climate solutions and a fossil-free world. The forest as a carbon dioxide sink Climate change is one of the greatest challenges facing humanity. The forest and its products are an important part of the solution. SCA manages its forests responsible to grow in the best possible way. As trees grow, they bind carbon dioxide. Trees are highly efficient carbon traps. SCA’s forests bind carbon Renewable products Our products, based on renewable raw material from responsibly managed forests, are recyclable and can replace fossil-based alternatives such as plastics and fossil fuels. With our products' low carbon footprint, we contribute to lower carbon footprint for our customers and customers' customers. Renewable products Fossil-free value chain The overall aim is that SCA’s value chain is to become fossil-free. SCA’s own industrial processes are 95 percent fossil-free thanks to the bioenergy from our own forest raw materials. Better planning of transportation and by replacing fossil fuels, we reduce carbon dioxide emissions per tonne produced. Fossil-free value chain Renewable energy SCA is now one of Europe’s largest producers of forest-based bioenergy, with a total production of about 11.9 TWh per year. In Sweden, SCA has three pellets factories and we leases out forest land for wind power production. SCA also develops products for the next-generation of biofuels and green chemicals. Renewable energy SCA’s climate benefits SCA’s climate benefits amount to 9.6 million tonnes of CO2 per annum, which is more than the total emissions from all the truck traffic and domestic air travel in Sweden. Look at our calculation model. SCA’s climate benefits The green cycle is necessary for a fossil-free society SCA's growing forest and renewable products mean that we can leave fossil carbon in the ground. Here we describe how SCA's industrial ecosystem effectively contributes. The green cycle Sustainability targets SCA Group's sustainability targets will be achieved by 2030 with 2019 as the base year. The targets presented are those we consider to be most relevant for SCA’s business operations and stakeholders. Sustainability targets What we do! SCA has a long-term perspective and takes responsibility for sustainable development throughout our business. See our good examples and activities that show how sustainability is part of SCA's business concept. What we do!
