There are many who have high environmental ambitions. But it is only with products and solutions that simultaneously live up to requirements for function and overall economy that we can seriously offer smart climate choices. We are driven by the conviction that through collaboration and goal-focused exchange of knowledge within the industry, we can reverse the trend and contribute to mitigating the negative climate effects.

Environmental work characterized by continuous improvement
We develop our operations within the framework of environmental permits and certifications
Holmen's renewable products help to reduce the need for fossil-based alternatives, and our active environmental work ensures that we comply with the rules and conditions imposed on our operations.
Holmen's operations give rise to emissions to air and water, and our environmental work is about managing our impact on people and the environment.
In order to be able to conduct industrial production, an environmental permit is required that specifies approved emission levels of various substances. The total environmental impact of the operation is regulated in the individual permit examination under the Environmental Code, as well as through the Industrial Emissions Regulation, which states that the best available technology must be applied.
Good conditions for industrial production
Holmen provides customers all over the world with access to renewable products from the Swedish forest. Conducting forestry and industrial production in a forest country like Sweden has several advantages. In addition to access to raw materials, we have plenty of clean water, a fossil-free energy mix and clean air.
