At Sveaskog we adhere to the Swedish forestry standard FSC®. This entails that we have been awarded environmentally ethical FSC certification for many years. Through this we contribute to promoting sustainable forestry worldwide. FSC is a voluntary global system and is the only forestry certification that is widely approved by environmental movements.
Dialogue
The FSC standard spans many aspects of forestry. Forestry is a diversified business covering timber production, the reindeer industry, hunting, fishing, outdoor pursuits, and biological diversity, all of which must be taken into account. Therefore, the many meetings and discussions with the numerous interest groups are taken as a natural part of our work.
Training
We regularly run training courses in nature and culture conservation for everybody who works within forestry at Sveaskog, employees and contractors alike. We promote non-toxic forestry in accordance with FSC principles, and, together with our subsidiary company Svenska Skogsplantor, we are developing mechanical means to combat the pine weevil.
