SCA wins prestigious award for Best Sustainability Report

SCA has been awarded the Institute for the Accounting Profession in
Sweden's (FAR) prestigious prize for the Best Sustainability Report 2009
in the category Large companies. The award was presented today at
Finforum 2010, an international conference in Stockholm, Sweden,
focusing on market communications in listed companies.

The FAR jury's citation:
“The SCA Board of Directors discloses relevant sustainability
information in the Annual Report as well as in a separate Sustainability
Report for 2009, and by this demonstrates that sustainability issues are
well established and highly integrated in the company's business model.”

 “A systematic account with clear sustainability targets enables open
and transparent dialogue with our stakeholders. SCA's sustainability
programmes constitute a strategically important and integrated part of
the operations that we conduct to generate growth and value. Also, our
sustainability activities enhance our competitiveness, reduce our costs
and lower our risk level”, says Jan Johansson, President and CEO of SCA.

In addition, SCA recently received a citation for the Best Corporate
Governance Report within the framework of a competition organised by PwC
to highlight leading examples in the application of the Swedish Code of
Corporate Governance. SCA received the citation for “a precise and
coherent presentation with the theme of ‘Governance' as the common
thread throughout the report.”
