We have developed sustainability targets and objectives to support our priorities and sustainability strategy.
Targets & Performance
Climate targets
We place great emphasis on reducing the environmental impact of our business activities. Our main environmental and climate impact occurs during the products use phase. As our products are used, they consume resources such as energy, water, and detergents.
These resources impact the product’s environmental footprint as well as the customer’s operating costs.
Our overarching, and ambitious, target is to become climate neutral in our own operations by 2030.
Climate target for 2030
Reduce CO2 emissions
Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our industrial sites
>-70%
by 2030 (base year 2019)
Climate target for 2025
Reduce CO2 emissions
Scope 1 and 2 emissions from our industrial sites
>-50%
by 2025 (base year 2015)
Target was reached in 2023.
Climate target for 2030
Reduce emissions from use phase of sold products
Scope 3 emissions
>-27.5%
by 2030 (base year 2019)
Target was reached in 2024. New target on Scope 3 indirect emissions will be developed.
Scope 1 and 2 CO2.e emissions
OUTCOME 2024
Scope 1 and 2 CO₂.e emissions in 2024 amounted to 3,346 (4,402) tonnes, which is -61% compared to 2019 with a recalculated baseline. Reduction achieved through a focus on switching to renewable energy including doubling our renewable energy generation, energy efficiency improvement, and consumption reduction.
Excluding 2024 acquisitions. Recalculation is made by distributing the first reported emission footprint backwards to previous years.
CO2e=Carbon dioxide equivalent (includes GHG)
Scope 3 CO2.e emissions
OUTCOME 2024
Scope 3 emissions from use phase of sold products in 2024 reduced -35% (-27.7) compared to base-year 2019.
Higher share of renewable energy from the grid providers, lower volumes compared to 2019, partially due to phase out of some products, and more energy-efficient products contributed to us reaching the target. Excluding 2024 acquired companies TOSEI and Adventys. Recalculation is made by distributing the first reported emission footprint backwards to previous years.
Target was reached in 2024. New target on Scope 3 indirect emissions will be developed.

People Targets
Our mission is to make our customers’ work-life easier, more profitable – and truly sustainable every day. This can only be accomplished through our greatest asset – our people.
Health and safety target
We prioritize the wellbeing of all employees by providing a safe and healthy work environment. We work with a ’zero accident’ mindset, putting safety at the top of the agenda.
Gender diversity
We recognize and seek diversity in all its forms since it is paramount to our business success that we have a wide and diverse perspective on matters. We monitor gender diversity, and we have clear and cascaded objectives to increase gender diversity.

Lost Time Injury Rate
OUTCOME 2024
After several years of improvement, the LTIR did not improve compared to our target last year, and reached 0.66 (0.54) during 2024. We address the root causes of accidents, and work proactively with near misses and unsafe practices to decrease the lost-time injury rate towards our target.
Leadership diversity
OUTCOME 2024
Gender diversity across managerial positions improved slightly to 28% in 2024, excluding employees of the companies acquired in 2024, TOSEI and Adventys. Activities related to diversity and inclusion, such as training and support for hiring managers, have increased during the year.
