Annual and Sustainability Report 2024

Our sustainability strategy is an integral part of our business strategy

Sustainability considerations, particularly climate issues and resource use, are fundamentally important for the energy and waste management services we currently offer and want to develop in the future. Today, we create value from residual and waste streams and can offer competitive energy solutions based on energy that would otherwise be lost. This is an important platform for our business development.

Our products and services are geared towards achievement of the global climate goal – the Paris Agreement. We want to actively support the ongoing transition. Emissions must be reduced, permanent negative emissions are added, preferably with solutions and technologies that can be scaled globally so that what we do here at home has a meaningful impact. 

We also need to be an attractive workplace and a value-creating actor and partner for society, customers, suppliers and our employees. It is important that we can attract and retain skilled people able to operate and maintain our increasingly advanced energy plants, and who want to be involved in developing the entirely new technologies we need to achieve the climate goal. 

Our main focus moving forward is on the following areas:

  • Investing in CCS technology for biofuel-based energy production (bio-CCS) to generate permanent negative emissions and reduce emissions from final treatment of residual waste with incineration and energy recovery
  • Developing our efficient production equipment towards high availability, minimal disruptions to society and environment, phasing out the final amount of fossil oil, and introducing increasingly circular solutions – including for our own residues and waste
  • Providing a safe work environment and an attractive, inclusive workplace
  • Working proactively with our suppliers, particularly in regard to sustainable biofuels, to ensure that our offerings, products and services are sustainable

"Our products and services need to generate value for our customers and owners, in addition to promoting sustainable development and mitigating climate change"

Ulf Wikström, Sustainability Director
