Sustainability
Creating value for people and nature

Ambitious sustainability targets
SCA has established ambitious People and
Nature targets in the areas of Employee Health
& Safety, Sustainable Innovations, Hygiene
Solutions, Code of Conduct, Climate and
Energy, Fiber Sourcing & Biodiversity and
Water.
Creating value for people

and ensure access to affordable, sustainable
hygiene solutions. Our activities include teach-
ing young women about menstruation and
puberty, children about the importance of good
hand hygiene and nurses about incontinence.
Creating value for nature
Our forests represent a unique resource. They
provide our industries with high-quality wood
raw material and enable energy production for
wind and biofuels. Our growing forests absorb
2.6 million tons of carbon dioxide annually
which exceeds the emissions from SCAs own
production.

Jones Sustainability Index, one

parency for disclosing its ecological footprint in the WWF

Innovation drives growth and protability and comprises one of SCAs three strategic priorities.
Development and differentiation of products and services boost customer and consumer value
while strengthening the companys market positions and brands.
Innovation
SCAs innovation process is deeply embedded in
the Groups strategy and business model. Innova-
tion activities are based on market trends, cus-
tomer and consumer insight, new technology and
business models, with sustainability and product
safety integrated into the process. SCAs presence
in both mature and emerging markets provides a
good understanding of trends and customer and
consumer needs. This is used to develop new
business models, products and services adapted
to the prevailing conditions in these markets.
For SCA, innovation work involves increasing cus-
tomer and consumer value by developing new,
attractive products and services, evolving and
improving existing offerings, and expanding the
range. Innovation programs also encompass
production and work processes, with the aim
During 2013, SCA introduced TENA
U-test, an in-pad test card that facili-
tates detection of urinary tract infec-
tions among patients. The method
simplies diagnosis for caregivers
and reduces patient discomfort
compared with a urine test, which
may require the use of a catheter.
of achieving a more effcient and resource-effcient
operation.
Sustainability plays a central role in SCAs innovation
process. Sustainability-driven innovation may take
the form of continuous optimizations, reducing
resource utilization along the value chain, replacing
fossil fuels with renewable alternatives or developing
business models or offerings that enhance the qual-
ity of life of customers and consumers.
Open innovation meaning cooperation with exter-
nal parties constitutes an important part of our
innovation efforts and is a resource-effcient way of
delivering increased customer and consumer value.
Tork high-end towel dispenser
With SCAs Tork Xpress Countertop
dispenser, the use of towels decreases
by 25% when compared to a stack of
loose towels. The enclosed dispenser
prevents towels from getting wet or
damaged, and the one-at-a-time dis-
pensing improves hygiene and redu-
ces waste, ensuring a high-end expe-
rience. In 2013, a new, more elegant
dispenser was introduced in nger-
proof stainless steel and high-gloss
white and black plastic.
A strong brand creates
long-term value
The SCA brand communicates our identity and how we wish to be perceived:
our values, our Code of Conduct, our comprehensive sustainability work and our
innovative way of thinking and developing new solutions based on customer and
consumer insight. The brand also conveys how our products and services enable
us to make a difference for people, nature and society.
SCA is working to establish a strong Group-wide brand and strengthen the link to
our customer and consumer brands. Studies show that consumers increasingly
want to recognize and feel confdent in the company behind the products they buy
and know that the company is fnancially, environmentally and socially responsible.
This is one of the reasons that we want to increase awareness of SCA and
strengthen the connection between the company and its customer and consumer
brands, thereby enabling us to capitalize on our shared strengths and values, and
create a clear link to our customers and consumers.
Making a difference every day, everywhere
The core of the SCA brand is encapsulated
in our brand concept Care of life.
SCA Care of life; because our products make
life easier for you and for millions of people
around the world. Because our resources and
the way we work are natural parts of the global
lifecycle. And because we care.

A symbolic journey with the brand in focus
SCA will participate with an all-female team,
Team SCA, in the Volvo Ocean Race 2014-
2015. Over the past years, SCA has under-
gone a journey of change involving a number
of acquisitions and divestments around the
world. Our participation plays an important
role in this journey of change, making SCA
more well-known and increasing the aware-
ness and perception of SCA.
SCA is supporting an all-female team because
globally about 80 percent of the retail pro-
ducts SCA makes are purchased by women.
Through our Volvo Ocean Race entry, SCA is

making it possible for women to participate in
an arena normally reserved for men.

This global journey and nine-month race,
which starts in Alicante, Spain in October
2014 and fnish in Gothenburg, Sweden in
June 2015, has stopovers around the world
and will have millions of followers. For SCA,
the race is about building a high-performance
team, cooperation and striving towards com-
mon goals with a clear strategy many simi-
larities with business society. It is about con-
quering the unexpected and entering the
future as a strong team.
