Storskogen’s climate strategy

Climate change is one of the greatest challenges of our time and of course one of Storskogen’s most prioritised sustainability aspects. To ensure that Storskogen contributes to a low-carbon economy and continues to create value, we have a climate strategy.

Climate targets

2025

• 100 percent of our companies must set climate goals in line with the Group goal
• 80 percent renewable energy

Climate targets

2030

• Halving our emission intensity compared to 2020 for Scope 1 and 2
• 100 percent renewable energy

Climate targets

2045

• Net-zero emissions

Progress in 2021

Change in CO₂e emissions per SEK million turnover¹⁾

-16%

^{1) Storskogen’s emissions intensity decreased by 16 percent during the year. One of the reasons for the reduced emission intensity is that Storskogen during the year acquired large industrial companies with low emissions in relation to sales. This has thus had a significant impact on Storskogen Group's total emission intensity.}

Supporting the sustainability work in our companies is an important part of our vision to be the best owner for small and medium enterprises.
