Economic responsibility

“To us at SCA, sustainability is more than a legal requirement. It is a competitive tool. That is why we view sustainability as an investment rather than an expense. It is a decisive factor for a prosperous future for our company.” SCA Sustainability Report 2009.

At SCA, we are committed to creating value for all our shareholders and stakeholders, and to building relationships based on mutual respect, responsibility and excellence in a socially and environmentally responsible manner. Achieving this requires strong financial performance, environmental stewardship and social commitment. Good business is sustainable business, and at SCA, we also believe that creating high quality hygiene solutions is good business. Our Tork hygiene solutions are developed at optimal cost to ensure high quality and high value for both Tork customers and consumers. For SCA and our Tork brand, sustainability is an integral part of our operations and strategy for growth and value creation. Our long tradition of taking care of our people and nature, and our origin as a forest products’ company, have given us a profound link to and responsibility for the environment. These are both consistent with a growing and sustainable business. For information on SCA corporate social responsibility and accreditations, please visit www.sca.com/sustainability.
