Our three prioritized areas are Circularity, Environment & Climate, and Social Sustainability. The focus of sustainability efforts varies across our companies, depending on their industry and market position. As owners, we have a set of expectations that apply to all of Axel Johnson's group companies. You can read more about our expectations further below.

From a broader perspective, we want Axel Johnson and our companies to be on the right side of major societal challenges – both global issues like combating climate change and more locally-driven issues like exclusion and segregation. Given Axel Johnson's significant presence in the food sector, we particularly aim to contribute to a positive development within the food system. However, we also seek out new sectors and areas such as solar energy, where Axel Johnson can contribute to meaningful change.
