Objective 2030: 100% Engaged People

Ensuring that employees are thriving and develop in the organisation are priority areas for Indutrade and crucial for the Group’s success. We help create the conditions for long-term growth of our business by focusing on continuously developing leadership skills and competencies, having inclusive teams and workplaces where people thrive and by ensuring that there are safe and healthy working conditions.

One of the most important prerequisites for maintaining a long-term approach is our expertise within the Group. In our subsidiaries this is largely a matter of making use of the expertise that already exists internally. We do this both through training for key people and by sharing knowledge and experiences within the Group.

We believe in giving people freedom and trust. It creates job satisfaction, pride and commitment. Being able to attract, develop and retain the right employees is a prerequisite for Indutrade's long-term profitability. By building teams with diversity, the ability for development and innovation increases.

Health and safety in the workplace is fundamental for Indutrade. Investing in improved work and production environments is something that we prioritise, support and encourage.

Targets to the SDGs where the contribution from our work with people is particularly relevant

Objective 2030: –50% Scope 1 and 2, –25% Scope 3 (base year 2023)

The climate issue is high on Indutrade’s agenda, and reducing carbon dioxide emissions is a key strategic focus area for the Group. During 2024, we refined our climate targets in accordance with Science Based Targets initiative's criteria for limiting global warming to under 1.5 degrees Celsius, and had our new targets validated. Our overarching goal is to achieve net zero emissions of greenhouse gases throughout the entire value chain by 2050, and also:

• To reduce Scope 1 and 2 emissions 50% by 2030, and 90% by 2050 (base year 2023).
• To reduce Scope 3 greenhouse gas emissions 25% by 2030, and 90% by 2050 (base year 2023).

We are proud of our ambitious targets and are convinced that our work towards achieving them will benefit Indutrade as a Group and our individual companies in many ways.

We work with analysis at the Group, business area and company level to identify relevant measures and priorities going forward in our pursuit of lower carbon emissions. Various kinds of support and guidance are offered to our companies, to assist them in their climate efforts.

Targets to the SDGs where the contribution from our work with the environment is particularly relevant

Objective 2030: 100% of Indutrade's companies contribute to sustainable customer value

Our overall goal for 2030 is for all of the Group's companies to contribute to a sustainable development for customers via their products and solutions. Our companies offer high quality products with a long service life. Through good knowledge of customers’ systems and processes in combination with high technical expertise, we are able to, in many cases, streamline customers’ operations and offer solutions that reduce environmental impact, or contribute with other benefits, for example improved working environment.

Sustainability is becoming increasingly important to customers and society at large. It is also crucial to continued growth and success. Stimulating the development and sale of products with sustainable added value is therefore an important focus area for the Group. We are particularly striving to ensure that newly launched products consume less energy and/or lower the carbon footprint.

Furthermore, we encourage our companies to include questions about sustainability in their customer surveys or other regular engagement with their customers.
