The jury's motivation for Holmen's award reads:

"Holmen is recognized as a Career Company 2026 for creating a workplace where sustainability, community, and employee development truly take center stage. Here, strong teams are built to work toward shared goals in a corporate culture characterized by openness, responsibility, and collaboration. The combination of a strong set of values, opportunities to grow in various areas, and a clear focus on the green industry of the future demonstrates why Holmen has become an attractive choice for talents with a genuine interest in both people and sustainable development."

 

  Gunilla R Söderberg, Senior Vice President HR at Holmen, sees the award as proof that we succeed in communicating what Holmen offers and our corporate culture in a way that reaches out.

- Holmen's strong corporate culture and development opportunities are something that the jury has taken note of.

- I am happy and proud that Holmen has once again been named a Career Company this year. We all contribute to our strong corporate culture, and the competence and commitment of our employees truly shine through—even in our external communication, says Samuel Karlsson, HR Partner at Holmen Board and Paper.

- Ensuring that our employees both thrive and develop is a key priority for us and something we work on continuously, which makes it especially rewarding that this is also recognized externally. We have a delegated way of working and a corporate culture that provides a solid foundation for both an excellent workplace and a stimulating environment,” says Ester Jakobsson, HR Partner at Holmen Forest.
