Gunnebo Group has announced the release of it’s latest CSRD-compliant sustainability report.
According to the company, the report revealed clear progress across its business units, with positive shifts in gender balance, increased use of renewable energy and stronger supplier governance.
Women now represent 44% of management positions in Gunnebo Safe Storage as a business unit, up from 22%, marking a substantial shift in leadership composition and reflecting continued efforts to build a more inclusive and balanced organisation.
Renewable energy usage has increased to 17%, compared to 10% previously, indicating steady progress in reducing environmental impact and increasing reliance on more sustainable energy sources.
To support more consistent and effective risk management, Gunnebo Group has developed a common Group ESG Template for assessing new and high risk suppliers, strengthening how environmental, social and governance factors are evaluated across its supply chain.
Per Hökfelt, Head of Sustainability at Gunnebo Group commented: “This year’s sustainability report reflects clear, measurable progress across key areas of our business.
“From significantly increasing female representation in management to expanding our use of renewable energy and strengthening how we assess suppliers, we are building a more structured and transparent approach.
“By improving how we collect and use data, we are better positioned to track performance, identify priorities and drive continuous improvement,” Hökfelt concluded.
The report outlines how sustainability considerations are embedded across the organisation, spanning supplier engagement, business ethics, environmental impact and social performance.
This includes areas such as EcoVadis performance, carbon footprint reduction, renewable energy use, as well as social indicators including safety, career development and gender representation.
The company highlighted sustainability reporting as a tool for both compliance, transparency for stakeholders and continuous improvement, enabling structured data collection and analysis to identify opportunities, monitor progress and strengthen its overall approach.
This is reinforced by close collaborations with internal stakeholders as well as ongoing engagement from customers and partners, where sustainability remains an active and relevant factor in decision-making.
Stefan Syrén, President and CEO of Gunnebo Group explained: “Our direction is clear.
“We are committed to progressing against our long-term sustainability targets and to doing so in a transparent and structured way.
“This report reflects the discipline we are building across our organisation, ensuring sustainability remains an integral part of how we operate, develop and grow.”
