Creating value for society, people and the environment

With clear objectives and continuous work to integrate sustainability management throughout the business, Storskogen is taking steps toward sustainable operations throughout the value chain.

Annual and Sustainability Report 2021

Three priority areas

Storskogen's sustainability work is based on a materiality analysis carried out in 2019 and stakeholder dialogue with owners, employees, customers, suppliers and local communities, in order to validate the Storskogen prioritised focus areas.

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

KPI: 80 percent fossil free electricity
KPI: 100 percent of our companies set climate targets in line with the Group target.

Climate targets

2030

Halved emission intensity 0.95 tCO2/MSEK
KPI: 100% fossil free electricity
Start to climate compensate for remaining emissions.

Climate targets

2045

Net zero
Strive for net zero as far as possible (at least 85 percent) and compensate for the rest.

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.
