Södra is one of the country's largest forest industry companies and is jointly owned by more than 50,000 family-owned forest holdings in southern Sweden. In addition to developing forestry, we strive to always use the forest raw material in the most efficient and climate-smart way. Paper pulp, timber, textile pulp, and bio-products are just a few examples. By working together, we have the strength, commitment, and courage required to build a sustainable society. This is done with our feet on the ground, our ear to the outside world, and our gaze forward.
