We are working to reduce greenhouse gas emissions, pollution to air, land, and water, to reduce water and plastic use, and waste. Central to this is responsible forestry and procurement of fiber, reduced material use, sustainable consumption and circular solutions. These actions contribute to UN Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) 12 Sustainable consumption and production, SDG 13 Climate action and SDG 15 life on land, as well as SDG 3 Good health and well-being.
