For the second year in a row, we have been recognized as the top employer by 4Potentials for 2025. This award underscores Billerud's commitment to nurturing talent and offering valuable career journeys.

At Billerud, sustainability is a key part of our business, and we strive to embed it into everything we do. We are committed to transparency and to share both our progress and challenges, and our sustainability report helps us to track our efforts while providing insights to our customers, partners and other stakeholders. As part of our annual report, we are proud to present this year’s sustainability report – here are some of the key highlights.

Billerud is proud to participate in Introduce a Girl to Engineering Day (IGEday), a day where companies open their doors to thousands of young girls get hands-on experience and insights into the engineering profession. Billerud is participating for the eleventh consecutive year and welcoming future engineers at five locations in Sweden and four locations in the United States.

Billerud’s Wisconsin Rapids Converting Facility and Escanaba Mill have achieved ISO 9001:2015 certification. This certification confirms our dedication to delivering products and services that meet customer and regulatory requirements while aligning with an internationally recognized standard.

As one of Sweden's largest electricity consumers, Billerud has joined Industrikraft to help strengthen Sweden’s ability to expand competitive fossil-free electricity.

EcoVadis is a global leader in sustainability ratings and includes a network of more than 130 000 companies. They evaluate how well a company has integrated the principles of sustainability within its management system. This year, Billerud earned a Gold rating, securing our position among the top 5 % of rated companies globally across all industries.

Billerud, a global leader in high-performance packaging materials for a low carbon society, launches MediKraft SealBase, a high-quality surface treated medical paper designed to meet the growing needs of the medical packaging industry, marking a significant extension of Billerud’s current medical paper product line. MediKraft SealBase will be presented in mid-November at the medical tech fair COMPAMED in Dusseldorf.

In the annual Karriärföretagen – a leading Swedish career polling company - survey among students regarding the most attractive future employers, Billerud takes first place among master engineering students and second place among bachelor engineering students. Among IT students, Billerud ranks within the top ten most attractive employers. Karriärföretagen’s motivation for naming Billerud as a “Career Company 2024” highlights its commitment to a sustainable future and a positive work environment.

In 2019, as discussions around the impact of the Single-Use Plastics Directive (SUPD) gained momentum, Billerud participated in workshops organized by Cepi. It became evident that addressing the challenges of sustainable packaging required a collaborative platform. Thus, 4evergreen was born—an alliance with a clear goal: to increase the recycling rate of fiber-based packaging to 90% by 2030.

We are honored by being recognized as the top employer by 4Potentials for 2024. This esteemed award underscores Billerud's dedication to nurturing talent and offering valuable career journeys.
