A wood purchasing company
To satisfy the increasing needs of wood for the industry, SCA Skog
has gradually built up an organisation for the purpose of procuring
raw materials from private forest owners in Northern Sweden.
Today, the Group has some 60 wood purchasers
and marketing managers from Sundsvall and further
north. SCA aims to be the best partner for a longterm business relationship. Our quality-assured
work methods place forest owners and their needs
in focus.
All of the knowledge and experience that SCA has
gained in its own forests is now being offered to
other forest owners, and we place the same high
standards and do the same meticulous work in
private forests as we do in our own forests.

What do we get from one tree?
PULP WOOD is refined to example
publication papers, tissue,
containerboard
1 hectare GROT (branches and tree
tops) will heat 3 houses/year
SAWLOGS becomes planks and
boards, and most of it will be refined
to high quality solid-wood products
1 hectare STUMPS will heat
7 houses/year

Main objectives nature consideration
Our nature conservation program has three
main objectives:
 to sustain essential ecological processes
and life-support systems such as the
circulation of fresh water and the
preservation of soil fertility
 to preserve genetic diversity

 to ensure a sustainable, long-term
utilization of species and ecosystems

Strategy for nature conservation
 Nature consideration in all types of forestry
operations
 Environmentally compatible management
methods which, in many respects, resemble
natural disturbance factors, such as fires
 Detailed knowledge of the production
conditions and conservation aspects of SCA’s
forests
 Ecological landscape planning
Photo: Lars Häggmark
 High level of competence among all
employees and continued development of the
knowledge base and methods
 Cooperation with public authorities with regard
to special protection under the Nature
Conservation Act
