UN Sustainability Development Goals aligned with our focus areas

Nine of the UN SDGs align with our sustainability focus areas where we believe we can have a meaningful impact and where we have tangible commitments and goals connected to the detailed targets set by the identified SDGs. We also contribute to seven of the remaining eight1) goals through our general business contribution and societal engagement.

1) Swedish Match has identified that SDG 11 – Sustainable cities and communities is not specifically related to our business operations and focus areas, as we are a manufacturing company with very limited impact on e.g. urbanization, transportation and the safeguarding of natural heritages.

Focus areas

 

How Swedish Match contributes to the SDGs 2030 targets

REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Our goal is to limit our environment footprint while growing our business. We are committed to reducing our greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and waste along our value chain from sourcing to our own operations and continuing through consumer use.
 
  • We work to achieve an environmentally sound management of chemicals used and our waste throughout their life cycle as well as reduce their release to air, water and soil in order to minimize their adverse impacts on human health and the environment. (Goal 12.4)
  • We take action to combat climate change. (Goal 13.1)
  • We work to prevent and reduce pollution to water. (Goal 14.1)

EQUAL OPPORTUNITY 
Our continuing objective is to be a truly open and inclusive employer. In this environment, with zero tolerance for discrimination, all employees have equal opportunity to achieve their full potential – resulting in a more diverse workplace.
 
  • We do not tolerate any kind of discrimination including discrimination based on gender. (Goal 5.1)
  • We work toward having at least 40 percent of each gender in senior management. (Goal 5.5)
  • We are working to ensure equal opportunities and to prevent discrimination. (Goal 10.3)
