Message from the Chairman of the Board
The journey towards a sustainable future is unpredictable
The past year has certainly been unpredictable. COVID-19 once again played a key role. Critical political tensions and supply shortages are causing unpredictable market situations. We ended the fiscal year 2020/2021 with a reported revenue of DKK 6.3bn. As a global producer, supplier, and employer, this strengthens our focus on securing sustainable development.
Sustainability grows from within
2021 has been a year with focus on building a common understanding of our 2030 vision within the ABENA Group. This approach rests on our philosophy that sustainability is something we achieve together, every day – and that it takes ownership throughout the whole organization.
Raising the bar towards 2030
We aim to improve quality of life for the users of our products - always with sustainability in mind. This vision can only be made possible with a laser focus on optimizing our products and innovating our business. Tackling climate change is our key priority, and we continue raising our focus on circularity in our products and business development.
As part of our 2030 vision, we will continue to rethink our product compositions and assortment. We are proud to have taken a big leap in the progress of benchmarking our medium-term and long-term strategic sustainability priorities. We remain motivated by our focus on transforming our business in a sustainable direction.
Sustainable growth in a changing world
Sustainability is about continuous development and change - it is not a single destination. The journey towards a sustainable future is unpredictable.
For every step forward, difficult decisions must be made, priorities reshuffled, and the bars for success will be raised. This is the first sustainability report for the ABENA Group. We aim to provide an overview of what has been achieved so far, and of the milestones ahead. It should be viewed as a status report on the current situation in our unpredictable world. We cannot know for sure what the next years will bring, but we are well prepared to meet the upcoming challenges.
ABENA enters the next year with good momentum and with a clear set of strategic choices that will help deliver another positive year of sustainability progress.
