This is how we work for biodiversity

As a forest company with industries, we depend on the natural world being healthy, sustainable and thriving – for our planet, our business and for generations to come. Our aim is to ensure that all naturally occurring species are able to continue to live in Holmen’s forests

The Swedish forest is an invaluable resource that both binds carbon dioxide and provides a renewable alternative to fossil materials. It is also home to a variety of plant and animal species. Biodiversity is a prerequisite for all life on the planet.

Our operations span forestry and renewable energy such as hydro power and wind power all the way to sawmills and pulp mills. All our business areas are working actively to strengthen biodiversity. How? See the examples shown!
