UN Global Goals

Skjern Paper complies with a number of the UN Global Goals for sustainable development, but we would like to highlight two Global Goals that are of high importance to us:

7. Sustainable energy

By supplying waste heat to Skjern’s households we contribute to ensuring access to affordable, reliable, sustainable and modern energy for all.

Our own boiler plant uses as large a share of biofuels (wood chips) as possible, thereby contributing to the green transition.

12. Responsible consumption and production

Being a recycler, Skjern Paper contributes substantially to responsible consumption and production. By gradually increasing the production capacity and reducing waste we comply with this requirement.

By recovering almost all waste and bring­ing bio-bottom ash from our wood chip boiler back to the woods we contribute to a responsible management of waste in the entire life cycle.
