Ethical business accolade

SCA has been recognised in the list for eight years running. It was one of only three companies in the Forestry, Paper and Packaging category to appear. 

SCA’s group function sustainability senior vice president Kersti Strandqvist said: "This award reflects the trust we strive to earn each day from our customers, consumers and business partners, and how our employees manage our extensive operations in a responsible way."

The World's Most Ethical Companies list recognises corporations that go beyond simple statements about ethical business practices and that actually translate these into action. 

The list is administered by the Ethisphere Institute, an organisation dedicated to advancing the standards of ethical business practices that fuel corporate character, marketplace trust and business success.
