Together, we create value today and for the future
Södra was born from the idea that we are stronger together. Today, more than 50,000 forest owners along with dedicated employees, shape a world-lead industrial operation. An industrial operation that takes the forest's values all the way out into the world and back to you.
We are close to you, your forest and market demands. As a member, you stand firmly on two legs: one in the forest, the other in a modern industrial operation that makes the most of every tree. We share the results, and when Södra thrives, you do too.
Power to create change
We come from southern Sweden, but we operate in a global reality. The unique qualities of our raw material become products that make a difference in people's lives: wood for housing, fibre pulp for health and hygiene, bioenergy replacing fossil alternatives.
But the forest is more than that. It's a carbon sink, a habitat and a legacy. That's why we continuously develop both forestry and industry—long-term and with responsibility.
Each forest is unique
Each member has their own relationship with the forest. This creates a diversity that is a strength. By sharing knowledge, trying new things, and daring to develop, the business deals of the future are created together—with the goal of getting the best price for the forest, both now and tomorrow.
Södra's cooperative foundation influences everything we do. Here, we own together and influence by the principle of one member, one vote. That's how we build profitable, sustainable and future-proof forestry. Close to you. Close to the next generation.

Sustainable forestry
Forests matter—to people, to the planet, and to the future. To keep benefiting from all they offer, we need to manage them sustainably, with care for their natural, social and cultural values.
We take responsibility for the forest
Family forestry looks different. For some, it's a profession, for others, a lifestyle alongside something else. Many live on their estate, while others manage it remotely. But the strong commitment and a deep sense of responsibility for the forest unite. A desire to manage and see the forest give back, generation after generation.

Other important areas
Sustainable development from family forestry
Sustainable development begins in the forest, in the daily responsibility that family forest owners take for the land, the trees and the future. Here lies the foundation for a society that utilises its resources and thinks long-term. With people at the centre, knowledge passed down through generations unites with new ways of viewing forest and management. It's about making wise choices today, for a sustainable tomorrow.
Innovations that build the future
At Södra, innovation starts close to the forest and close to the people who manage it. Together, we develop ideas that strengthen family forestry, create new opportunities and contribute to a more sustainable future. With the forest raw material as a foundation, we transform curiosity into solutions that benefit both the climate, society and future generations. It's a natural part of our everyday life and the path forward.
