Work with environmental issues is given high priority at SCA. Instead of viewing environmental work as an expense, SCA considers it a prerequisite for the creation of a successful company.

Environmental responsibility
 |
The basic principle for the Group’s environmental work is local responsibility and adapting to local conditions. Issues of group-wide significance are coordinated when it is considered that a common line should be taken. Environmental issues at Group level are managed through a number of networks which include representatives from relevant business groups. These issues include emissions, product safety and water treatment.
SCA has an extensive resource management system (RMS) that describes how SCA utilizes energy, water, transport and raw materials and specifies waste and emission volumes. This information is available both for individual production plants and entire business groups.
