Where the forest’s value continues to grow

Södra was founded in 1938 on the idea that we are stronger together. Today, we are a forest owners’ association that connects thousands of forest owners in southern Sweden with people who, in their everyday lives, rely on what the forest provides – every single day.

The forest is closer to everyday life than you think​ ​

At Södra, we believe the forest can do more. By making the most of every tree, we create value for people, society and future generations. It is about using a valuable resource wisely, developing new opportunities and thinking long term.

Rooted in the forest, we grow the future

From the forest, through our industries and on to the customer. By making the most of every tree, we create more value from the forest.

The strength of long-term family forestry

Running a family-owned forest means thinking ahead, nurturing something full of value, and passing it on stronger than when you took over. Together, we create the conditions for future generations – and for a forest that keeps giving back.

Sustainability work and priorities

At Södra, sustainability isn’t a separate goal – it’s part of everything we do. We focus on what makes the biggest difference: for the forest, for the climate, for the economy, and for the people and communities around us.

Innovation that makes a difference

Innovation is how we meet the future – not just with new ideas, but with solutions rooted in the forest and in real needs. It’s how we create value for family forestry, strengthen our business, and contribute to progress in everyday life – both locally and around the world.

Products

From hygiene products and clothing to timber buildings and renewable fuels, the forest creates products that shape everyday life.

Södra’s mission and strategy

Mission, vision and values

Our mission is to refine and renew the values of the forest estate. Our vision is to create the future with roots in the forest. We do this with our feet on the ground and our eyes and ears open.

Södra's common strategy

A common strategy guides us in the transitions we need to make and how we connect family forestry owners with customers and consumers – from one family to another.

Our business areas

Södra's operations are organised into five business areas: Södra Bioproducts, Södra Building Systems, Södra Cell, Södra Skog and Södra Wood.
