Making a difference

Forests are one of the most important tools in the fight against climate change, and SCA therefore plays a significant role in the transition to a sustainable society. Our growing forests capture carbon, and our climate-smart products replace products made from fossil-based materials. In this way, we help customers around the world reduce their fossil footprint. We also work with wind power, which is a key to reducing dependence on energy produced from fossil fuels, and we manage our forests responsibly. Working on something that truly makes a difference gives our work an extra dimension.

An open, supportive work environment is essential for us to thrive. At SCA, we care about each other, and everyone here is made to feel valued. Many of us have worked together for many years, and some of us become lifelong friends. We also understand the importance of a sustainable working life. Life’s puzzle needs to fit together, and your energy should not only be enough for work but also for a fulfilling personal life.
Our professions

I was drawn to SCA because it is a large employer with many opportunities. I also like their values and work with sustainability. Another great thing is that they give back to the local community in which they operate.

Focus on development and innovation

Creativity, innovation, and development are always at the forefront for us. In recent years, we built the world's largest kraftliner machine and worked intensively on developing the future of bioenergy. These are significant investments for us, but our development goes beyond the big projects and innovations. 

We continuously work on improvements in all our operations, whether it's more efficient processes, new products, smoother collaborations, or smarter work methods. If you want to work with innovations and improvements, you've come to the right place!
