Södra to establish sustainability unit

Dec 18, 2014. /Lesprom Network/. Södra has decided to strengthen its organisation and structure. As of 2015, work and resources in sustainability area will be gathered under a central staff function, the Sustainability Unit. The unit will be established on 1 January 2015 and will report to Lars Idermark, President and CEO, as the company said in the press release received by Lesprom Network.

A sustainability strategy has been prepared as part of Södra's 2020 Group Strategy, to ensure that sustainability work will be systemised and communicated in a concise and clear manner. This process will also involve a gradual adaptation of working methods in line with the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). Södra aims to implement reporting according to the GRI's G4 guidelines as of 2016.

The present Environmental Director, Roine Morin, will become head of the unit. In addition to Roine Morin, the staff will include environmental coordinator Elisabeth Dahlén, environmental and energy coordinator Eva Gustafsson, energy coordinator Nilla Dahlin, sustainability coordinator Kristina Altner, and Anders Rydne who will replace Eva while she is on parental leave.

The Sustainability Unit will be responsible for the overall coordination of environmental, energy and sustainability issues, and will manage and support development issues in the Södra Group.
