Our view on sustainability
Next-level energy mix.
The world quickly needs to transition away from fossil fuels. Sunpine's Raw Tall Diesel and Bio-oil will play a crucial role in the energy mix of the future.
WE SELL FOSSIL FREEDOM. Sunpine´s offering centres on reducing our customers’ dependence on fossil fuels. At Sunpine, we know that every litre of Raw Tall Diesel and bio-oil we sell helps decrease the world’s reliance on fossil energy. This is the foundation of our business. But being truly sustainable goes further than the products we provide. It entails making a positive impact on the environment, mitigating climate change, and promoting social sustainability throughout our entire value chain.
ONE PLUS ONE EQUALS THREE. Our sustainability work is embedded throughout the organisation – from business development and procurement to production and strategy. Through cross-functional working groups focused on our key sustainability issues, we ensure that these matters are not handled in isolation but are instead firmly anchored across the entire organisation. This enables us to adapt quickly to new requirements, drive innovation and create long-term business value.
Our idea
"The rich man is running on the poor man's food"
Lars Stigsson, founder of Sunpine
Chemical engineer Lars Stigsson was quick to recognise the environmental impact of fossil fuels – and saw the potential to create an alternative based on plant-derived fatty acids. At the same time, he was determined that the raw material used should not compete with global food production, nor the use of arable land. The solution – and the foundation of Sunpine – was crude tall oil: a 100 per cent renewable by-product from the pulp and paper industry.

District heating
DISTRICT HEATING TO OUR NEIGHBORS. Sunpine's production process generates waste heat. This waste heat is converted into district heating and distributed to nearby industries on Haraholmen. In 2024, Sunpine delivered 2,075,000 kWh of district heating.
There is no final destination.
SUSTAINABILITY IS AN ONGOING PROCESS, a journey without a final destination. Challenging ourselves and examining our own impact is a central part of our strategy. To make an actual difference, we must dare to ask the difficult questions and continuously strive for improvement. Questioning our own sustainability may well be Sunpine’s most important tool for advancing it.
