To further strengthen this work, a new strategy function is being formed within Södra and Malin Nordin has been recruited as Director of Strategy. 

“I am really looking forward to Malin joining us at Södra. Malin’s experience of strategy development and change management is entirely right for our continued journey. I can see that, through Malin, we will gain several important perspectives,” said Södra’s CEO Lotta Lyrå.

“It is going to be incredibly stimulating and inspiring to work within the Södra family. The forest and its products will be even more important in the future than they are today.
