No matter what role we have within Holmen, we all work with renewable raw material and energy sources as a starting point. There is a great, strong and genuine commitment to our work. Because we believe in what we do.
Growing a sustainable future
We come from lots of different backgrounds, but everyone who works here shares a desire to create a greener future.
Together we are circular
Thinking sustainably in every aspect of the business means Holmen is playing its part in the transition to a fossil-free society. Our business is rooted in the forest, making optimum use of its raw material. We put the whole forest to use, so nothing goes to waste. We use the most valuable parts of the forest to make high-quality wood products. The smaller parts of the tree, wood from thinning and chips from the sawmills, are turned into paper and paperboard at our mills. The bark and wood shavings become bioenergy.
Our production plants are among the most resource-efficient in the world. We use wood waste products to generate electrical and thermal energy in our mills, organic material from the water treatment process is sold on as natural fertiliser, and steam from our mills at Iggesund and Braviken is used in the drying processes at the integrated sawmills.
Our three progress areas
We have identified three areas where we can make progress for a sustainable future.
