STOP THE SWEDISH FOREST SCANDAL!
Essity, DS Smith, and Nestlé are major multinational companies that all buy products from the forest destroyer SCA. This makes them complicit in this forest giant’s well documented destruction of Sweden’s last unprotected natural forests. They need to do everything in their power to Stop the Forest SCAndal.
Continuing to buy pulp and paper products from SCA despite knowing of their devastating impact on nature and indigenous communities is indefensible. We call on these powerful companies to immediately suspend their trade with SCA — or ensure that SCA ends its destruction of forests once and for all.
As an environmentally conscious person and consumer, you can make a difference. Sign the petition and help us pressure these companies to use their influence to stop the Forest SCAndal!

Dear Essity and DS Smith,
As you are large buyers of SCA forest products, you are participating in the destruction of Sweden’s natural forests. Continuing to source pulp- and paper products from SCA, despite knowledge of their destructive forestry methods, is undefendable. We demand that you take action. As a customer, I do not want products made of or packaged in materials that come from, or risk coming from, destruction of natural forests in Sweden. You must stop sourcing forest products from SCA, and other companies that cut forests with conservation values in Sweden, until the demands are met:
1. Implement an immediate logging moratorium in all continuity forests and other forests with conservation values.
2. Forestry must respect indigenous rights and listen to the demands made by the Sámi reindeer husbandry. This includes adhering to the principles of Free, prior and informed consent (FPIC).
3. Immediately stop planting the non-native tree species lodgepole pine (Pinus contorta) and begin the decommissioning of existing lodgepole pine plantations.
