Axfood's sustainability programme
Axfood’s sustainability programme lays out targets and key ratios that have been set for the Group’s sustainability work areas. Axfood’s sustainability report describes our work for a sustainable development.
Sustainability programme
Axfood’s sustainability program is an important governance tool that includes both a sustainability policy and short- and long-term goals. The majority of the goals are linked to the Swedish environmental goals and/or the UN’s global development goals. Among the UN’s development goals, Sustainable Consumption and Production and Climate Action are the most relevant for Axfood. The goals are monitored and the program is updated annually, as the work progresses and new objectives are formulated.
