Sustainability is an integral part of Logistea's strategic framework and goals. In 2023, work began to adapt the company's sustainability work and reporting to the new Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD). A double materiality analysis according to the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) was conducted and validated by the company's key stakeholders. The materiality analysis pointed out the sustainability issues that Logistea should prioritize in order to minimize risks and take advantage of opportunities, both financially and in terms of Logistea's impact on the outside world.
As a result of the analysis, Logistea's sustainability framework has been updated and new sustainability goals of both strategic and operational nature have been developed within the ESG framework. Target fulfilment of the targets below will begin to be reported in the second half of 2024.
"In 2023, we formed an internal sustainability committee with members from different parts of the organisation such as property management, business development, legal and reporting, with the aim of presenting a joint plan for the company's sustainability work. The new ambitious targets are anchored in both the conducted double materiality analysis and in future reporting regulations," says Philip Löfgren, CFO at Logistea.
