Sustainability work is a natural and integrated part of ICA Gruppen's operations and strategies. It contributes to strengthening the Group's long-term competitiveness and aims to create long-term value for both ICA Gruppen and the Company's stakeholders. ICA Gruppen's operations span many areas: retail of groceries, pharmaceuticals and other pharmacy products, development and management of properties, and banking and insurance services. The focus in sustainability varies between the different businesses, but the highest priority areas include continuing to reduce climate impact throughout the value chain, inspiring customers to make sustainable and healthy choices, contributing to better public health, minimizing food waste in own operations, increasing the proportion of nationally and locally produced assortments, ensuring traceability and transparency in the value chain and work towards gender balance.
