Stakeholder dialogue

Hufvudstaden has identified five main stakeholder categories: customers, suppliers, owners and other investors, employees, and local communities.

To strengthen our stakeholder dialogue in sustainability and gain valuable insights, we maintain ongoing communication with representatives from each group. Based on this dialogue, we have identified the sustainability aspects where Hufvudstaden can make the greatest impact. This provides a foundation for how we develop our sustainability communication and strategy. 

In the table below, we present our stakeholders’ key concerns and how we engage in dialogue with them on these issues.

Focus areas of our sustainability work

Hufvudstaden has conducted a materiality analysis based on the outcomes of our stakeholder dialogues. The purpose of the analysis was to strengthen and further develop our sustainability efforts. 

A number of priority sustainability aspects were identified, based on Hufvudstaden’s actual impact, strategic goals, and stakeholder expectations. These are the areas we focus on: 

Climate  Responsible business Employees 

We reduce our climate impact and adapt our properties to a changing climate.

Responsibility and strong business ethics guide the way we do business.
