Holmen manages the forest actively and sustainably. As well as being a stable source of revenue for Holmen, the forest brings major climate benefits by capturing
and storing carbon dioxide and reducing the need for fossil raw materials.

74 % of the Group’s capital is employed in the Forest business area.

Future-smart forests

We take responsibility for the ecocycle of the whole forest, from seed to harvest, and work in close partnership with private forest owners.

We combine forestry with biodiversity. Some areas are left untouched, but
in most cases biodiversity actually benefits more from us managing the forest in the right way than leaving it unmanaged.

Forestry creates prosperity, jobs and a confident future for Sweden, while also
bringing major benefits for local communities
