Forest
Our business concept is to own and add value to the forest
Holmen is a Swedish forest company that gives quality-conscious customers across the world access to renewable products from the Swedish forests.
Business concept
Our business concept is to own and add value to the forest.
Business strategy
Holmen’s extensive forest holdings are the foundation of our business. Using our own production facilities, the growing trees are refined into everything from wood for climate-smart building to renewable packaging, magazines and books, while at the same time we generate hydro and wind power on our own land. A business that not only creates value for customers and shareholders, but also contributes to a better climate and thriving rural communities.
Our business areas contribute to the overall strategy
