The second place in this year's Lynxeye Purpose Index is motivated by, among other things, the following: "With a clear and consistent commitment to quality and sustainability, Lantmännen has consolidated its position at a time when climate issues can be polarizing."
"It is very gratifying that for the third year in a row we have been named one of Sweden's most meaningful companies. The fact that Lantmännen's operations are perceived positively is a good indication of the long-term work we carry out in Swedish agriculture and food production. This award further spurs us on in our work to create growth on Swedish farms and to increase food production in the country," says Magnus Kagevik, Group President and CEO, Lantmännen.
The study includes 550 large companies in 8 markets, including the world's six largest economies, and a total of 17,000 respondents. In Sweden, the 50 largest companies are ranked according to the Purpose Index™, which indicates how purpose-driven and future-relevant they are.
"We always aim to be relevant and to create value for our employees, members and customers. This appointment and the perception of us as one of Sweden's most meaningful companies, strengthens and inspires us to continue to demonstrate our responsibility throughout the value chain from field to fork," says Frida Tydén, Senior Vice President & Head of Communications & Marketing, Lantmännen.
