Lantmännen signed the UN Global Compact initiative back in 2009, which means a long-term commitment to integrate ten principles for responsible business throughout the business. These principles cover the areas of human rights, labour law, the environment and anti-corruption. As part of the commitment, Lantmännen annually reports its progress and results to the UN through a Communication on Progress (COP).

The UN's sustainability goals within Agenda 2030 constitute an important starting point in Lantmännen's work to identify and prioritise significant sustainability issues. Through a thorough analysis, Lantmännen has defined which goals are most relevant to our business and how these are integrated into existing strategies and future development.

To further deepen the understanding of our responsibilities, a double materiality analysis has been conducted. This analysis has identified the most significant sustainability issues for Lantmännen, both from a business perspective and from the perspective of the impact on the outside world. In the environmental area, priority is given to climate impact, biodiversity and resource efficiency. In terms of corporate social responsibility, the focus is on employee health, safety and equal treatment, as well as on maintaining responsible business relationships with a particular emphasis on human rights. A high ethical standard, good animal welfare and safe, healthy products are also central parts of Lantmännen's sustainability work.
