SDGs 2030

 

How Swedish Match contributes to the SDGs 2030 targets

Icon goal 1 - Sustainable Development Goals

 

  Swedish Match provides both job opportunities and livelihoods for workers and their families in certain developing countries or areas where poverty may be high (Dominican Republic, the Philippines, and Brazil). Our procurement of tobacco and other raw materials is often sourced from areas where the opportunities for high quality source of income are low, such as from tobacco growing areas in Asia and to a limited degree from Africa. Tobacco in these areas generally provides some of the highest level of income of any agricultural products that may be produced in these areas. 
Icon goal 2 - Sustainable Development Goals   Swedish Match addresses the hunger and food security issues by providing employment, livelihoods and sourcing of raw materials in geographies where there may exist high levels of hunger. (See SDG 1 above).
Icon goal 4 - Sustainable Development Goals  Swedish Match contributes through training and development efforts to promote professional growth and career enhancement for our employees as well as through the provision of a scholarship program for our employees’ children in the US. Swedish Match is also a member of the board and supports the ECLT Foundation which provides access to education, through for instance programs in numeracy and literacy in the tobacco growing areas.
Icon goal 6 - Sustainable Development Goals  Swedish Match neither withdraws water from any source that is significantly affected by water withdrawal, nor discharges water into sensitive water bodies. We address potential issues related to water use from our tobacco supply chain through participation in STP. For more information on how we manage water stress in our operations and tobacco supply chain, see page Other topics outside our focus areas.
Icon goal 9 - Sustainable Development Goals  During the journey to achieve our vision of A world without cigarettes, we have been at the forefront of change to provide smokers with safer alternatives to cigarettes. We have also innovated our manufacturing practices to be more energy and resource efficient.
Icon goal 14 - Sustainable Development Goals  Swedish Match works to prevent and reduce any pollution to water and regularly monitor and measure all environmentally significant emissions. 
Icon goal 15 - Sustainable Development Goals  Our plantations in Brazil comprise poplar and pine wood in two reforestation projects. Our operations in Brazil protect biodiversity in the plantation by, for instance, restraining external human access to its lands and forests, prohibiting hunting and fishing, and keeping surveillance services in forests. We address potential issues related to Life on land from our tobacco supply chain through participation in STP under theme Natural habitats. For more information on how we prevent deforestation in our operations and tobacco supply chain,
