Holmen AB

Holmen is active in promoting the growth of sustainable energy production, and bio-based and fossil-free activities, through dialogue, consultation responses, preparedness and advocacy work, on its own and together with industry organisations. Holmen participates in national and international industry organisations whose purpose is to handle the monitoring of social trends and advocacy, with the aim of putting forward Holmen's position and view on relevant political and regulatory issues. In the locations in which Holmen operates, contacts are made with local representatives and the general public, for example at consultation and information meetings. Strategic evaluation and prioritisation of issues that may affect Holmen in the longer term is carried out under the leadership of the CEO. These priorities form the basis of in-depth initiatives such as inquiries and, where appropriate, clarification of Holmen's stance on important key issues and lobbying questions.

Holmen has a sustainable Business Strategy, which proves that our business is sustainable in itself. The more we grow and refine our forest, the better it is for the climate. 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.

One of Holmen's six business objectives is that we will contribute positively to the climate through higher growth in our forests, products that replace fossil-based alternatives and reductions in the fossil emissions along our value chain. In order to reduce our fossil emissions along our value chain Holmen has engaged with suppliers via conversations in order to set a Scope 3 emission target.
