Our focus areas for sustainability – part of the business strategy
We believe that a company with profitable growth is a sustainable company. At the heart of our business is one of the most significant current sustainability trends – the continuous digitalisation. Through a thorough evaluation of the environment, economy, and society across the entire value chain, from supplier to customer, we have identified four sustainability areas that are fundamental to us. We tackle these areas with the backing of our business model, which creates advantages for our customers, employees, and society as a whole.
