In 2025, Swedencare completed a structured materiality analysis to identify the sustainability topics most relevant to the Group. The analysis used the ESRS structure as a reference point and included input from internal and external stakeholders. The outcome was anchored with Executive Management and the Board and is used as an internal steering tool. The analysis identified four material focus areas for Swedencare.
Reduced environmental impact through lower waste volumes, improvements in packaging and material choices, and an increased share of fossil-free electricity.
Working environment, health and safety, and skills development.
Quality, traceability, product safety and information security.
Ethical guidelines, compliance, transparency and a strong corporate culture.
Swedencare's sustainability targets are designed to be relevant, practical and manageable across a decentralised international Group. We use 2025 as the baseline year. For some targets, data and follow-up are already established, while other areas are being strengthened as processes and data quality improve.
| Target area | Target | 2025 baseline | Follow-up |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fossil-free electricity | Progressively increase the share of fossil-free electricity, with the ambition to reach 90% by 2035 where market conditions and contracts allow. | 53% | Annually |
| Circular economy / waste | Ensure measurement of waste tonnage in production and establish tracking of waste intensity. Quantitative targets will be set once a baseline is established. | Baseline established in 2026 | Annually |
| Employee engagement | eNPS > 45 | 44 | Every two years |
| Competence development | ≥20 hours of structured training per employee per year, on average | 17.37 hours | Annually |
| Health & safety | LTIFR <3.5 by 2031, three-year rolling average | 5.07 | Quarterly |
| Product safety | No product recalls related to harmful products; robust deviation handling and continuous improvement | 0 | Quarterly |
The Board has ultimate responsibility for Swedencare’s business, while Executive Management is responsible for the ongoing sustainability work and priorities. Our common Group framework includes policies, governance documents and practical guidance that help subsidiaries translate Group priorities into local action.
Our framework includes:
Following changed regulatory conditions, Swedencare is not expected to be subject to CSRD in the near term. We have therefore adapted the scope of the information we follow up and communicate externally. At the same time, we continue to work actively with the areas we consider most material and aim to strengthen data quality and follow-up over time.
Swedencare is committed to ethical business conduct at every level. Our code of conduct lays down the principles that we apply to ensure high ethical standards in business operations and in taking responsibility as a corporate citizen of the world.
