Aligning our strategic priorities with stakeholder demand

When setting our strategic priorities, we regularly interact with our stakeholders to safeguard that different perspectives are considered. We also assess our impacts, risks and opportunities from an environmental, social and governance perspective.

Double Materiality Assessment

To identify which sustainability topics that are most relevant to us as a Group, we regularly conduct so called materiality assessments. The outcome is used to:

  • Guide our strategic priorities
  • Serve as the basis for setting Group targets
  • Identify sustainability reporting and disclosure requirements

In 2023, we aligned our methodology with the requirements of the European Union's Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD), and we conducted a Double Materiality Assessment (DMA).

The DMA is essentially a strategic tool for prioritization to address main impacts, risks and opportunities as well as to stay relevant and in line with different stakeholders’ expectations.

Impacts, risks and opportunities

When conducting a DMA, we assess and identify our main impacts, risks and opportunities (IROs) throughout our value chain. We look at what positive and negative impacts we, as a Group, have on the planet and society. We also look at how the planet and society affect us in terms of financial risks and opportunities.

Basis for our Group targets

The outcome of the DMA has guided us in what targets to set for the strategy period 2025-2027 including our long-term commitments for 2030. The DMA results also define the scope of our sustainability reporting and disclosure. We review the DMA results on an annual basis and make updates when needed.
