Future-smart forests

We manage the forest actively and sustainably to make sure it grows optimally, giving us the best raw material. Forestry creates prosperity, jobs and a confident future for Sweden, while also bringing major benefits for local communities.

Actively managed forest is good for the climate. The young, growing trees absorb more carbon dioxide than the older ones and when the time is right, we harvest a renewable raw material capable of replacing fossil material.
