STOCKHOLM, October 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ --

Rottersac and Stenay specialty papers production sites have obtained ISO 50001:2011 certification for their Energy Management System (EnMS) from SGS. Energy efficiency is a critical environmental performance indicator that helps to achieve cost optimization as well as helping to preserve resources.

Achievement of this certification is consistent with the company strategy aiming to efficiently utilize its production and service platform to develop customer-specific solutions in a sustainable manner.

"In our production units, energy is assessed using both the input of electricity and heat energy. EnMS is a tool that enables us to implement continuous improvement plans in using energy more efficiently, including a better measuring and analyzing of our sites energy consumption. These two certifications emphasize our long-term commitment to a more sustainable world.", comments Anders Hildeman, Senior Vice President Sustainability.
