Ulf Larsson, President and CEO of SCA, has been elected new Chairman of Skogsindustrierna - Swedish Forest Industries Federation. The assignment is held for two years.

In his new role, he will be an important representative of the forest industry, which accounts for 10% of Swedish export value and has a central role in the transition to a fossil-free society.

Ulf Larsson emphasizes the importance of increasing understanding and improving the conditions for Swedish forestry. At EU level, he would like Sweden to join forces with other forest nations to continue to show that the forest is a strategically important resource and that the use of the forest's renewable raw material is a prerequisite for sustainable and fossil-free development.

Swedish Forest Industries Federation represents paper-, pulp- and the woodworking industry. The organization exists to bolster companies' competitiveness and work for the increased use of forest-based products.
