This section of our report deals with matters relating to environmental subjects. It is organised into four sections:

• Sustainable Forestry
• Efficient use of energy
• Cleaner Air 
• Purer Water.

SKG would like to record that throughout its operations in Europe and Latin America the Group received no significant fine nor suffered any other sanction regarding environmental matters. This reflects our determination to at least meet legislative requirements and to exceed such standards whenever possible.

SKG has a number of operations close to legally protected areas or to areas of high bodiversity value. These are shown in the attached schedule: Protected areas SKG 2009
