I have worked with Veronica Heaven at The Heaven Company on the Brief Cases competition for many years now. In March 2016 I was lucky enough to join the student competition winners from UCA Epsom and Norwich University of the Arts; with Brian Webb (one of the Judges) to visit Iggesund in Sweden for three days. The UK was experiencing the start of Spring but there was still snow in North Seweden.

It was the most marvelous experience and we were treated like royalty with the care and attenton lavished on us all by Staffan Sjoberg and his colleagues at Iggesund Invercote.

We watched the managed felling of trees after seeing all the permission documentation that is submitted before any work is carried out.
 
We visited a frozen lake to see the water source and how the company takes care of their environment, and their nursery where trees are grown to replace the ones cut.

And finally had a tour of the factory to see the entire process where the high quality paperboard is made and the lengths the company goes to to ensure their care of the environment.

It was a fantastic experience!

And Baseline gave me the opportunity to write a report about it on their blog.
