The Swedish forest industry is a cornerstone of the nation\u2019s economy and a driving force in its climate policy. As one of the world\u2019s largest exporters of pulp, paper, and sawn timber, we create employment opportunities and foster development across Sweden. At the same time, we contribute to global climate benefits. Together, we have the power to make a difference.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Approximately 70% of Sweden\u2019s land area is covered by forests, and the Swedish forest sector employs around 140,000 people. These jobs span the entire country\u2014from north to south\u2014and are often located in rural areas. The forest industry plays a vital role in local communities, contributing to national and regional development while ensuring strong, vibrant rural areas.<\/p>\n

Today, about 80% of the forest industry\u2019s products are exported, with total export revenues amounting to SEK 184 billion last year. These exports are crucial for Sweden\u2019s trade, creating jobs and generating income that supports the nation\u2019s welfare. Moreover, the industry is heavily investing in its future. Between 2021 and 2023, investments in new technology, equipment, and facilities reached an impressive SEK 42 billion. In 2023 alone, 400 million seedlings were planted across the country.<\/p>\n

Together, We Can Make a Difference<\/h3>\n

As a forest-rich nation, Sweden\u2019s forest industry plays a key role in combating global climate change. Last year, the Swedish forest industry contributed to climate benefits equivalent to 93 million tons of CO\u2082\u2014more than double Sweden\u2019s total greenhouse gas emissions. This is achieved through carbon storage in wood-based products such as planks, paper, and cardboard, as well as by using forest by-products and fuels to support fossil-free energy production.<\/p>\n

The Swedish forest industry has both the ability and the determination to contribute to sustainable development. Together, we have the strength to make a difference, and at JGA, we are proud to be part of this force!<\/p>\n
