We have long been working to reduce our environmental footprint by focusing on ensuring that a larger proportion of our sales come from products with third-party verified sustainability certification.
The certifications entail various requirements regarding soil management, reducing water and chemical use, and resource-efficient production with fair working conditions. In addition, we continuously collect information on how the brand owners in our product portfolio are working with their sustainability challenges. In this way, we identify and communicate about product categories whose sustainability work is not fully covered by a third-party verified sustainability standard. Read more about this in our sustainability report.
