Our annual Sustainability Statement was published yesterday as part of the 2025 Annual Report. This marks second year of CSRD-aligned reporting, further strengthening transparency and data quality across the Group. Couple Key Takeaways: > The share of renewable energy in our total energy consumption increased from 26% to 42%, and over 86% of our electricity, heating, and cooling now comes from clean sources (55.5% in 2024). > The total market-based GHG emissions decreased by over 9%, corresponding to a reduction of 4,593 tCO₂e, driven by increased use of renewable energy and reduced air freight. We have also defined a clear path forward through our new sustainability strategy for 2026–2028, which includes clear measurable targets. The strategy places stronger emphasis on our people with increased focus on health, safety, and wellbeing. At the same time, we continue our commitment to conservation and protecting what matters most to the anglers around the world. Looking ahead, we are developing a climate transition plan and advancing our supply chain risk mapping to further integrate sustainability into all aspects of our operations.   Read the report here: ENG: https://lnkd.in/dqDxg_xe FIN: https://lnkd.in/da6ZHX9Z
