Introduction

Our purpose is to be proud to serve our kids. An important part of this purpose is acting responsibly, working towards being sustainable across all aspects of our business, and efficiently managing environmental, social, and governance (ESG) risks and opportunities. This enables us to provide great products that are better for the consumer and better for the environment across the Nordic markets.

About Scandza

Scandza is a Nordic producer and distributor of fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG). We own and manage iconic brands, and serve the Scandinavian, Estonian, and UK markets.

Environment

As an international food producer and distributor, Scandza has a responsibility to contribute to a sustainable food system. We consider the environment in everything we do. Our goal is to reduce our emissions, protect the environment and empower consumers to choose sustainable food by providing low-impact products in a full product life cycle view.

Social

As a manufacturer and distributor of food products and everyday consumer goods, our impact on people is large. As an employer our main responsibility is to ensure our employees’ health, safety, and well-being. As a food manufacturer, we aim to provide healthier products to our customers. As a buyer, we play a role for people in our supply chains. With production, we also influence local communities where our factories are located.

Governance

Scandza seeks to conduct our business in a manner that allows us to be proud to serve our kids. We are committed to ensuring a way of working that reduces risks to people and the environment along our value chain. At the same time, changes related to sustainability and the environment, such as climate change, regulatory changes, and transitional risks, represent risks that affect Scandza and are something that we need to continuously work to assess and address.
