We develop the business within the framework of environmental permits and certifications

Holmen's operations give rise to emissions to air and water, and our environmental work is about managing our impact on people and the environment. In order to be able to conduct industrial production, an environmental permit is required that specifies approved emission levels of various substances.

The total environmental impact of the operation is regulated in the individual permit examination under the Environmental Code, as well as through the Industrial Emissions Regulation, which states that the best available technology must be applied.

The extensive permit processes are based on the fact that the impact of the activities must be acceptable for both people and the environment in both ongoing and completed operations. At the same time , the permit process ensures a balance between the economy and the environment.
