Sustainability targets and outcomes

We take a long-term and goal-oriented approach to reducing our environmental impact and contributing to a more sustainable society. Here, we present our sustainability goals – and how we are progressing toward them.

To advance our sustainability work, we have established targets within our key focus areas – Minimise, Future-proof, and Collaborate. These targets help us measure progress and guide our efforts in the right direction. We also align our work with national and international goals, such as Fossil Free Sweden and the UN Sustainable Development Goals. 

We have committed to setting near-term emissions targets in line with climate science through the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi).
