Strategy and goals

Since the beginning of the 21st century Elanders has gone through an enormous transition from a traditional printing company with most of its business in Sweden to a global logistics group with operations on four continents. As a global logistics company, it has a citizen’s responsibility to work actively with social, ethical and environmentally-related issues.

Elanders’ materiality analysis and strategy consider risks, uncertainties and changes from a materiality perspective. It concerns both the physical environment characterized by climate change, changes in natural resource assets and disturbances in global value chains as well as the social environment where a transition to a more circular economy with lower carbon emissions is taking place. This entails making an adjustment to more sustainable company governance overall, along with different external expectations and demands. All these factors are weighed into the analysis and the compiled view of the risks the Group faces, and then taken into account in Elanders’ overriding business strategy and goals. This, in combination with a  solid sustainability work, creates greater shareholder value and added-value for all the company’s stakeholders – for customers as well as investors and society.
