Sustainability

Our business is in sustainable, value-added products that come from renewable resources — pine trees.

Unlike the timber industry, which has to re-grow forests, we are truly sustainable, as tapping pine trees does not harm them.

The industry as a whole embraces new technologies and provides much-needed employment for locals in remote areas of our country.  A multitude of products based on chemicals from the pine tree touch almost all spheres of our lives, from perfumes and cosmetics to food additives, adhesives to automobiles and printing inks to paper.  The business has continuously adapted itself over centuries and is today at the forefront of renewable bio-based industries.

The SVD PineChem manufacturing facilities operate with zero carbon emissions and zero effluents into the environment.
