Sustainability
At Swedish Match we have a vision of a world without cigarettes. Offering tobacco consumers alternative products to cigarettes is at the core of what we do.
Pursuing our vision represents a great commercial opportunity as well as a significant contribution to society. By providing products that are recognized as safer alternatives to cigarettes, we can contribute considerably to improved public health. From a total impact perspective, this is where we are likely to have the largest positive impact on society.
During the past year we have taken a new approach to our efforts on sustainability. Our aim has been, and is, to further clarify what is material to our Company as a whole and in the long term. Our sustainability strategy emphasizes six areas – public health, business ethics, equal opportunity, child labor, greenhouse gases, and waste and emissions.
Successful sustainability activities require a methodical approach to reporting. During the past year we have identified six focus areas where we will devote most of our efforts and communication going forward.
