We develop our operations within the framework of environmental permits and certifications.
Holmen's renewable products help to reduce the need for fossil-based alternatives, and our active environmental work ensures that we comply with the rules and conditions imposed on our operations.
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 business is regulated in the individual permit examination according to the Environmental Sheet, as well as through the Industrial Emissions Regulation, which states that the best available technology must be applied.
Environmental work is characterized by continuous improvement measures within the framework of our management systems. Over the years, we have effectively reduced our use of chemicals and other inputs, and we recycle and reuse the waste that arises.
Along with the renewable forest raw material, water and electricity are also key raw materials in our production. How we manage these resources is therefore of great importance in our environmental work.
Holmen provides customers all over the world with access to renewable products from the Swedish forest. Conducting forestry and industrial production in a forest country like Sweden has several advantages. In addition to access to raw materials, we have plenty of clean water, a fossil-free energy mix and clean air.
