Management approach

SCA’s overall social management approach is to assess how the company impacts and interacts with people where it operates, and to develop strategies for establishing good relations with key stakeholders everywhere. SCA’s main steering document in the area of social responsibility, the SCA Code of Conduct, defines relevant areas for the company to manage and excel in, thereby contributing to social sustainability in the Group’s operations, and for various stakeholders along our value chain. This chapter describes SCA’s work related to its most important social aspects.
