Södra, a paper and paper products company headquartered in Sweden, reported approximately 2.43 billion kg CO2e in total emissions for 2023. This includes Scope 1 emissions of about 92 million kg CO2e, Scope 2 emissions of approximately 2.7 million kg CO2e, and Scope 3 emissions of around 2.34 billion kg CO2e. Key categories within Scope 3 emissions were processing of sold products (about 1.6 billion kg CO2e), and purchased goods and services (approximately 251 million kg CO2e).

Södra has set several climate commitments. The company aims to halve its Scope 1 and 2 GHG emissions by 2030, using 2020 as a baseline year. This target is aligned with Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) 1.5°C classification. Additionally, Södra commits to reducing absolute Scope 3 GHG emissions by 50% within the same timeframe (2020-2030). These targets were established by Södra Skogsägarna ekonomisk förening. Södra has also committed that 70% of its customers, by emissions, covering processing of sold products, will set science-based targets by 2027.
