Reduced climate footprint

Greenhouse gas emissions throughout our value chain represent one of our most significant environmental impacts. At the same time, climate change directly affects our business and is one of our greatest business risks. Therefore, we actively work to reduce CO₂e emissions and do our part in combating climate change.

Arvid Nordquist Coffee

  • We will halve climate emissions linked to Arvid Nordquist coffee by 50% by 2030 (base year 2014), covering Scope 1, 2, and 3. 
  • Most of our coffee has been deforestation-free since 2014, and we are working to transition to regenerative farming methods.
  • We roast using 100% biogas and use renewable electricity and energy.
  • Our coffee packaging is made from biocircular plastic. 
  • We will reduce energy consumption per kg of roasted coffee by 10% by 2025.
  • We invest in climate projects in coffee-growing countries for the emissions we have not yet been able to reduce..

Arvid Nordquist Food & Confectionery, Wine & Beer, and Non-Food

Our goal is that by 2025, all brands and producers we represent will have climate targets with transparent follow-up or be affiliated with the Science Based Targets Initiative.

By 2025, all packaging materials must be 100% recyclable, and for our non-food products, there is also a goal to increase the proportion of recycled plastic (PCR) in packaging.

Arvid Nordquist Group

  • Our operations are powered entirely by wind and water-based electricity and energy that has been certified by the Swedish Society for Nature Conservation as a “Good Environmental Choice.”
  • By 2025, our own transport flow will be 100% fossil-free and we will reduce emissions linked to inbound transport by 10%.
  • Our company cars and benefit cars must be 100% electric or electric hybrids throughout the Nordic region.
  • We have reduced emissions linked to business travel by 32% (base year 2019) and have already achieved our long-term targets for 2025. 
  • Arvid Nordquist also donates food to social grocery stores called “Matmissionen” (Food Mission). This allows us to reduce our food waste while generating social benefits by alleviating food poverty and ensuring that more people find employment.
  • We are also affiliated with the Science Based Targets Initiative (SBTi) and report to the CDP.
  • We have already achieved the climate targets for 2025 for scope 1 and 2 and are continuing to work on reducing them within scope 3 as well.
