Vision and strategy

Being recognised as a role model for responsible forest management is a major task. For this reason, we must set high ambitions and targets.

World leader in sustainable value creation in the forest

Sveaskog's vision is to be the world leader in sustainable forest value creation. To achieve this, we endeavour to balance ecological, economic and social values in the best possible way. This can be realised through our unique expertise, scale and capacity. To ensure that our sustainable value creation is world-leading, we not only compare ourselves with other Swedish forest owners, but look out onto the world.

Four long term strategic objectives for sustainable value creation

Sveaskog wants to increase profitability by enhancing how the company acts in the market, in the partnerships it has with other players and in business related to land ownership. The company’s climate benefit objective indicates that Sveaskog can only be profitable in the long term if it has a full grasp of how climate change affects the business environment. Sveaskog has prioritised four strategic objectives for sustainable value creation that reflect the long-term challenges facing the company.

These objectives are as follows:

  • Increased forest growth
  • Increased climate benefits
  • Development of biodiversity and ecosystem services
  • Increased sustainable returns

Success factors

Sveaskog has identified six success factors that the company needs to ensure in order to achieve the four strategic objectives and ultimately the company’s vision.

These are as follows:

  • Developing sustainable and diversified use of forests and land
  • Prioritising partnerships, cooperation and dialogue
  • Work actively for new business and higher revenues
  • Be highly efficient and at the forefront of technology, methods and working practices
  • One Sveaskog
  • Ensure skills and job satisfaction

 

Words describing our values

The words responsibility, courage and curiosity describe our values and permeate our culture, helping us to take action in our day-to-day work based on a common approach.

Foundations

The very basis of our activities consists of the mission (articles of association and financial targets) our owner has assigned us, as well as of an ownership policy, which also sets out the national and international climate and environmental targets that we, as a state-owned company, must help to fulfil.
