Holmen’s book "Future-smart forests" summarizes our view of how forests should be managed to ensure efficiency and sustainability.

Sustainable forestry
We practice forestry based on hundreds of years of human experience, research and political deliberations. Sustainable forestry will not be achieved at a certain point in time – it has to be developed constantly.
Wood - a natural and renewable raw material
Holmen Iggesund's operation is based on the renewable and carbon-neutral raw material wood, which provides products that can be recycled as both material and energy.
Emissions of carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases must level off at their current level and be reduced in the longer term in order to curb the change taking place in the Earth’s climate.
For climate-related reasons it is best to use the forests actively.
Wood is becoming an ever more important product in the sustainable society, as wood captures carbon. Growing forest stores the carbon dioxide from the air in trees and soil in the form of carbon. When the trees are felled and used for wood products, these products continue to capture carbon throughout the product's life.

Water, Wood and Energy
Paperboard is both a simple and advanced product. It is simple because we base our products on three main raw materials: water, wood and energy. But it is at the same time an advanced engineering feat to put these three ingredients together and come up with the fantastic products that Invercote and Incada are!
Water
Water is a key ingredient in all papermaking. Holmen Iggesund uses water to transport and wash fibres in our mills.
