FTSE4Good Global Sustainability Index

SCA has qualified for the eleventh consecutive year for the FTSE4Good global sustainability index. FTSE4Good’s review proved again that SCA has a strong sustainability strategy.

This time SCA got 98 points out of 100 possible in FTSE4Good’s rating.

”During 2010, SCA began the installation of a lime kiln at the Östrand pulp mill in Sweden which will cut carbon dioxide emission by 80% and we have released a new global hygiene supplier standards, to name just two examples”, says Marita Sander, Sustainability communications manager

”It’s of great value to us that our engagement is being recognised by independent evaluators.”
