AddTech AB

Sustainability governance Ultimately, the Group's Board of Directors, is responsible, through Group Management, for Addtech's overall, long-term sustainability targets. Addtech's Head of Sustainability, who reports to the CEO, is responsible for continuously monitoring and reporting on development and key indicators and for supporting the companies with regard to sustainability. The overarching objectives are supplemented by the individual business areas and companies, which prepare sub-targets, action plans and activities. Our operational sustainability efforts are conducted in line with our well-established corporate culture through decentralised responsibilities in our companies. Addtech practices active ownership through Board work and follow-up. Each year, the companies report their key indicators, detail their individual sustainability efforts, report on activities designed to help achieve our shared 2030 goals. If deficiencies are identified, the companies apply appropriate measures with the support of the Group. A clear goal within our acquisition strategy is to acquire companies in areas that drive development towards more sustainable industries and communities. In our acquisition process, sustainability is an important parameter in identifying potential acquisitions and is integrated into the Due Diligence process. To ensure that newly acquired companies are integrated into our Group-wide sustainability work, sustainability is included in our introductory programme for new companies (see page 24). Addtech continuously conducts skills-enhancing efforts in sustainability. For example, the management team is continuously trained in relevant issues, we hold inspiring and skills-enhancing seminars, offer individual training courses for our companies and apply the concept of "Train the trainer" – where employees from our companies are trained in sustainability and then further train their colleagues.

Hållbarhetsstyrning Ytterst ansvarar koncernstyrelsen, genom koncernledningen, för Addtechs långsiktiga, övergripande hållbarhetsmål. Addtechs hållbarhetschef, som rapporterar till VD, ansvarar för att kontinuerligt följa upp och avrapportera utveckling samt nyckeltal och att stödja bolagen inom hållbarhet. De övergripande målen kompletteras med att respektive affärsområde och bolag tar fram delmål, handlingsplaner och aktiviteter. Vårt operativa hållbarhetsarbete drivs därför, i linje med vår väletablerade företagskultur, genom ett decentraliserat ansvar i våra bolag. Addtech utövar ett aktivt ägarskap genom styrelsearbete och resultatuppföljning. Varje år rapporterar bolagen sina nyckeltal, eget hållbarhetsarbete samt aktiviteter som styr mot våra gemensamma 2030-mål. Om brister identifieras sätter bolagen, med stöd av koncernen, in lämpliga åtgärder. Inom vår förvärvsstrategi, har vi ett tydligt mål att förvärva bolag inom områden som driver utveckling mot mer hållbara industrier och samhällen. I vår förvärvsprocess är hållbarhet en viktig parameter vid identifiering av potentiella förvärv samt integrerat i Due Diligence-processen. För att säkra att nyförvärvade bolag integreras i vårt gemensamma hållbarhetsarbete ingår hållbarhet i vårt introduktionsprogram för nya bolag. Addtech bedriver regelbundet kompetenshöjande insatser inom hållbarhet. Exempelvis uppdateras och utbildas ledningsgruppen kontinuerligt inom relevanta områden, vi genomför kompetenshöjande seminarium, erbjuder individuella utbildningar för våra bolag samt praktiserar konceptet 'Train the trainer' – där medarbetare från våra bolag utbildas inom hållbarhet för att sedan vidareutbilda sina kollegor. Inom gruppen har vi ett ambassadörsnätverk, Addtech Sustainability Network, som träffas regelbundet för att dela erfarenhet och utvecklas tillsammans.

Describe the process(es) your organization has in place to ensure that your engagement activities are consistent with your overall climate change strategy[…]Like all Addtechs work connected to climate strategy, educating the subsidiaries is key. Addtechs decentralized model implies that the subsidiaries are part of trade organizations on their own behalf and are expected to be consistent concerning climate work in the same manner as how work is done internally. For this reporting however we do not see that these trade associations may significantly impact the climate.

Does your organization have a public commitment or position statement to conduct your engagement activities in line with the goals of the Paris Agreement?[…]Yes
