Key activities from the first year of the partnership.

Together with Svanehøj, we have implemented various sustainability activities. Here are some of the most important ones.

01.

Current State Analysis

We conducted a Current State Analysis to disclose Svanehøj’s market position and sustainability maturity. The analysis has set the foundation of all future work and tracks Svanehøj on three key parameters: People, Profit, and Planet. A Current State Analysis includes activities such as Maturity Matrix, PESTEL, ESG Positioning, and Materiality Assessment. Based on the results from the analysis, we began strengthening Svanehøjs sustainability initiatives in order to support the company’s mission of becoming a climate leader in the market.

02.

CO2eq Baseline

We established a CO2eq baseline to track the development of future emissions. SustainX and Svanehøj are gathering data for a Scope 1 and 2 inventory in accordance with the Green House Gas Protocol standard. By mapping out Svanehøj’s Scope 1 and 2 emissions, it is now possible to track the effects of future sustainability initiatives. Once a complete overview is established, we can set reduction targets and implement initiatives to lower Svanehøj's greenhouse gas emissions. In 2023 Svanehøj and SustainX will establish a CO2eq baseline for relevant Scope 3 emissions.

03.

Educational Training

Selected Svanehøj employees have reciveed educational training through our SustainX academy program and have undergone educational courses on Climate Accounting and chosen Sustainable Development Goals. By raising sustainable awareness and building knowledge and a common understanding of sustainable development amongst employees, Svanehøj’s sustainability strategy has been strengthened and employer engagement has been raised.

04.

Ambassador Corps

We formed an internal Ambassador Corps to keep motivation high and make room among the employees for innovation and ideas supporting Svanehøj’s green transition.
