Strategy

Sveza adopts a long-term development strategy for 2030 promoting four strategic focus areas: customer-centricity, operational efficiency, new points of growth, and sustainable development.

Sveza creates an in-house harvesting subsidiary Sveza Resource and becomes a vertically integrated company with a high degree of self-sufficiency for raw materials. The company implements sustainable forestry practices and complies with the national and global standards in forestry and supply chain management. Working with the local timber harvesting companies, Sveza promotes the development of the communities where it has operations. 

Sveza launches the production of bioproducts made of waste materials from plywood production: fuel briquettes, firewood, and biocoal. The biomass fuels are carbon neutral and promote the corporate zero-waste philosophy.

Sveza signs an agreement with the government of the Kostroma Region on the implementation of a social and economic development program for Manturovo. As a major employer, the company is committed to improving the communities where it works. Dozens of initiatives worth over one billion rubles were implemented under the program in just three years, including the construction of a gas supply network for a community, major renovation and re-equipment of the Manturovo District Hospital, and many more.

Sveza signs a cooperation agreement with the government of the Totemsky District of the Vologda Region. Under the agreement, the company implemented many initiatives in healthcare, culture, urban environment, and infrastructure. The same year Sveza started supporting participatory budgeting projects. 

Sveza signs an agreement with the government of the Perm Region on the implementation of a social and economic development program for Uralsky, where Sveza’s plywood mill is a major employer. Since then, the company has spent almost fifty million rubles on the improvement of the village. The most important projects implemented under the program, included the renovations of the local school, hospital, and community center, stabilization of the river bank, and launch of a new discipline “Wood Processing Technology” at the Nytva Vocational School.
