Progress with Grönsamhet 2019
Our sustainability work covers many different issues and is integrated into both everyday work and strategic business development. Our knowledgeable and committed employees are the driving force behind this work, and the reason that we can proudly report several exciting advances in 2019. A few of them are presented in the following section.
PAGE 14 Our portfolio The factory for future buildings Långshyttan is our hub for modern wood product manufacturing. Production will begin here in our new crosslam factory in 2020. Custom-made cross-laminated wood elements enable the construction of almost anything – in a resourceefficient and climate-friendly way.

PAGE 34 Sustainable transport From forest to tank Setra is developing renewable fuel through the new company Pyrocell. Together with Preem, we will be refining sawdust into bio-oil, which in turn is a key raw material in fuel, thus contributing to the transition to a fossil-free transport sector.

PAGE 18 Climate-smart raw material Responsibility for the raw material at every stage The forests around the sawmill in Färila were hit hard by the wildfires in the summer of 2018. By clearing and sawing the fire-damaged logs, we were able to recover considerable value that would otherwise have been lost. At the same time, we gained experience and knowledge that will be valuable for the future. A stronger safety culture Setra has always made a safe working environment its highest priority. Nevertheless, there are risks in our business and accidents do happen. By working on our behaviour and focusing on non-compliances and risk observations, we have begun to notice positive effects, for example at the sawmill in Malå.

PAGE 24 Culture and colleagues Resource-efficient business New ideas reduce energy consumption Setra’s business is energy-intensive and we are always looking for ways to make energy use more efficient. The sawmill in Heby is a leader in cutting kilowatt-hours, not least through new and more efficient wood drying methods.
