An optimized supply chain to rely on
Elanders’ overarching goal is to be a leader in global solutions within supply chain management in a connected and sustainable world.
Elanders has a particular focus on advanced logistics solutions with a strong element of value-added services. The Group works closely with its customers to develop their business, strengthen their competitiveness and make their supply chain more sustainable. Optimal management of the supply chain makes an operation both more cost-efficient and sustainable through lower resource consumption in production, warehousing and transportation.
Elanders strives for a balanced customer portfolio, both geographically and across industries, in order to reduce exposure to fluctuations in individual markets as well as general economic cycles. The Group aims to be a strategic business partner that contributes to the customer’s long-term development.
Business concept
Elanders wants to be a global and strategic partner to the customers in their business-critical processes. The goal for Elanders is to be a leader in global end-to-end solutions in supply chain management and to be the best at meeting customers’ demands on efficiency and delivery, with sustainability in focus. Elanders helps customers with their business-critical processes, locally and globally, through integrated and customized solutions for managing all or parts of their supply chains. At the same time, the customers’ climate footprint is reduced through optimization of both material and product flows.
Financial and sustainability targets
Elanders continuously develops its offering to customers with the aim of achieving its long-term financial targets and consistently deliver an increase in value and higher return to its shareholders year after year. A sustainable business model and new and continually improved services, combined with innovative technology, creates a good platform for continued growth and development as well as greater value for shareholders.
The Group’s greenhouse gas emission reduction target means that the Group shall reach net-zero emissions across the entire value chain by the year 2050, in line with the Paris agreement. This target is integrated into Elanders’ strategy for sustainable development and constitutes an important part of the company’s efforts to reduce climate impact and future-proof its operations.
Growing organically and through acquisitions
Elanders develops together with its customers. Global business often emerges through the solid customer relationships created when local needs are met with efficient and customized solutions, which are then scaled up and implemented globally. As the Group expands and develops new technological solutions, its capacity to meet customers’ needs in new geographic markets increases, thereby deepening the customer relationship.
In addition to further developing the existing business, Elanders also aims to continue acquiring new operations with the potential to drive cross-selling, broaden the customer base and strengthen the current offer. An important acquisition criterion is gaining access to new, or further developing existing, geographic markets or customer segments. The objective is for acquisitions to always broaden or complement Elanders’ offer and, if possible, provide further niche expertise. This strategy supports Elanders’ long-term ambition of sustainable growth and increased competitiveness in the global market.
