SCA praised for transparency in sustainability reporting

This month, it was announced that SCA ranks high among Europe’s 500 biggest companies for digital communication according to the Webranking Report carried out by Comprend. Among other things SCA received the highest score for CSR in Sweden, alongside StoraEnso and SSAB.

Sustainability was the second most prioritized section in this year’s Webranking and one in which SCA got the highest score in Sweden, receiving 87% of the maximum score (compared with last year’s 78%).
In particular, respondents considered SCA to be most transparent about their sustainability work in their online channels highlighting the presentation of both environmental and social data, as well as clearly communicated targets and follow-up actions.That SCA now has a digital sustainability report, further increased our score.

Results also showed that many companies still lag when it comes to sharing their sustainability information on the web. This year the goal achievement was 32%.

“The survey shows that European companies must take the issue of transparency in sustainability more seriously,” says Tommy Borg Lund, Director of CSR at Hallvarsson & Halvarsson.

Tetra Pak launches pioneering initiative to help restore biodiversity

Tetra Pak announces the launch of the pioneering land restoration initiative The Araucaria Conservation Programme in Brazil, marking the industry’s first nature-based restoration project. The ambition is to generate positive environmental, economic and social benefits for local communities and restore and protect biodiversity in the region. Developed in collaboration with Apremavi, a Brazilian NGO specialising in conservation and restoration projects since 1987, the initiative is set to restore at least 7,000 hectares over a period of ten years – equivalent to 9,800 football pitches – of the Atlantic Forest, one of the richest biomes and the second most endangered in the world. Originally, this rainforest covered 17 Brazilian states, but today only 12 per cent of its original area is preserved, putting thousands of species that do not exist elsewhere at risk. The Araucaria Conservation Programme will target an area of particular risk, the Forest of Araucarias, which today only has 3 per cent of its original area preserved.
