Our sustainability statistics laid bare

Södra’s Annual and Sustainability Report for 2024 is now available on our website, where you will find detailed financial and sustainability information. Here are some of the ways in which we made the most of every tree we harvested from member forests:

• We produced 1.8 m3 sawn timber and 1.7 million tonnes of pulp. 
• We had a positive climate effect in 2024 of 10.4 million tonnes of carbon dioxide equivalents. 
• We delivered 3,700 GWh of solid biofuels to produce heat, renewable electricity and liquid biofuels. 
• We delivered 0.4 million tonnes of biomaterials (mainly from the sawmills) for bedding materials for livestock, sawdust for the pellet and board industries and bark for covering material. 
• We generated 1,700 GWh of green electricity from biomass, wind and water, a surplus enough to heat more than 50,000 homes. 
• We produced 40,000 tonnes of biochemicals. In terms of sales volumes, tall oil accounted for 87%, biomethanol 9%, turpentine 4%. 
• We have set a target to carry out nature conservation measures on 3,000 hectares annually by 2025. 
• We sold 37 million seedlings.
