On September 17, 2025, this year’s EUCUSA Award was presented during the 21th EUCUSA Summer Talks in the roof hall of Urania Vienna (this time virtually, i.e. without travel for the award winners).

The awards have been presented on a regular basis to particularly employee- or customer-oriented companies. Prerequisites to win the award are either an above-average overall result in an EUCUSA survey, the setting of a new benchmark in the international EUCUSA comparison database or an outstanding performance in the implementation of follow-up actions.

This year, the award went to Svenska Cellulosa Aktiebolaget SCA (publ) for “excellent employee orientation 2025”. With 78 out of 100 points a high total survey result was achieved in the seventh All Employee Survey 2025 (AES). SCA attained three new best-in-class values for the aspects “Prioritisation of health and safety“, “Free from any kind of sexual harrassment“ as well as “Openness to new ideas/recommendations“.

The core of SCA’s business is the forest, Europe’s largest private forest holding, managing a total of approximately 2.6 million hectares of forest. A well-developed value chain has been built around this unique resource, based on renewable raw materials from its own and other’s forests. The company offers packaging paper, pulp, wood products, renewable energy, services for forest owners, and efficient transport solutions. SCA was founded in 1929 and is headquartered in Sundsvall, Sweden.
