UN SDGs 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.
