GETTY IMAGES Wooden house facade in Cairo. SCA IS STRENGTHENING ITS ENVIRONMENTAL profi le within publication paper products. All of SCA’s paper grades, except for newsprint, will be labeled with the EU’s Ecolabel in the copy paper and graphic paper category. The EU Ecolabel, which used to be known as the EU Flower, provides consumers with Continued demand for wood products IN 2012, SCA increased its market shares and volumes in sawn solid wood products in North Africa – for example to the Egyptian market. The year before, 2011, the Arab Spring brought about a temporary slowdown in timber deliveries to Uni4 Marketing, a company in which SCA Timber has a stake. Its business concept is to combine knowledge about the local business culture with effi cient logistics and a wide range of products, in order to sell timber in countries such as Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Algeria, in which the owner companies have no representation of their own. In 2011, this approach resulted in the sale of nearly 600,000 cubic meters of sawn timber. SCA is also the No.1 supplier of wood products in Morocco. Stronger environmental profi le a guarantee that products have an environmental impact that is lower than or similar to comparable products on the market. The EU Ecolabel is based on the environmental load of the product from the raw material to when it is disposed of – that is, over the product’s entire life cycle. Change process updates logo SCA HAS undergone major changes in recent years and today is a leading global hygiene and forest products company with a strong sustainability image. SCA’s logo is therefore being updated with stronger, brighter colors and softer lines. “Care of life” is also written in full, underlining the message. SCA has the ambition of building a strong Group brand, where SCA guarantees all the Group’s product brands, and that employees, products, processes and the whole business develop in a sustainable and responsible way.
