A new report from Svensk Kooperation shows that cooperative enterprises in Sweden have increased their turnover by 27 percent over the past decade and now account for around ten percent of GDP. Södra is one of the largest players, contributing to a resilient and sustainable forestry sector – where members have influence and share in the value created.
Södra has been named the winner of Växjö Municipality’s Timber Construction Award 2025 for its long-term and sustainable approach to timber construction. The award recognises those driving progress in sustainable building and inspiring continued innovation.
In early 2026, a pilot project for carbon capture will be launched at the Värö industrial site. The initiative aims to build knowledge around the technology and explore new business opportunities using biogenic carbon dioxide as a raw material. The pilot is part of Södra’s long-term strategy to increase the value of every tree, strengthen competitiveness and contribute to more profitable forest estates. By testing new technology to capture biogenic carbon dioxide in an industrial setting, Södra seeks to explore how this resource can be refined and used in new applications without increasing forest harvesting.
