This is what you get as a shareholder in SCA
With 2.7 million hectares of land, SCA is Europe’s largest private forest owner. Around this renewable resource, SCA has built a well-invested value chain that maximizes the value of each tree. Combined with a high degree of self-sufficiency and state-of-the-art industries, this enables long-term and increasing returns for SCA’s shareholders.
Stable and profitable value growth over time
With 2.7 million hectares of land, SCA is Europe’s largest private forest owner. Forest is a real asset that protects against inflation, generates stable profitability and value growth. Since 1956, forest assets have provided an annual total return of about 10%.
A robust project portfolio that ensures competitive returns
SCA is a forest company with modern, well-invested industries close to the forest holding. Important investments in the future are taking place in all product areas that increase production, quality and competitiveness. The robust project portfolio comprising strategic capital expenditures in forest and industry ensures long-term competitive returns.
High degree of self-sufficiency provides stability in the cost base
SCA uses the entire tree in an industrial eco system, ensuring efficient use of resources with a high degree of self-sufficiency in wood raw material, energy and logistics that largely counteracts cost increases. In parallel, competitive industries have a high payment capacity for wood raw material and secure the long-term value of the forest.
SCA’s products are meeting rising demand and contributing to a more sustainable society
Historically, there has been a growing, long-term demand for all products manufactured by SCA, and these products also meet rigorous sustainability and quality standards. Renewable products, such as solid-wood products, biofuels and packaging paper made using biomass from SCA’s forests, can replace fossil-based products, such as fossil fuels, plastics and concrete. SCA’s products and forest have an increasingly important role to play in the transition to a more sustainable society.
SCA contributes climate benefit corresponding to more than one quarter of Sweden’s emissions
Growing forest binds CO2. Combined with higher production of renewable products and investments in sustainable technology, SCA’s climate benefit is increasing. In 2024, the total climate benefit from SCA’s forests and manufacturing industries amounted to 12.3 million tonnes of CO2eq. SCA is also one of Europe’s leading producers of renewable bioenergy, which helps to mitigate climate change.
