Ambitious and science-based work for sustainability - Atria's Corporate Responsibility Report 2023 has been published
Responsibility is an integral part of Atria's strategy, business and daily work. We develop our own operations and those of the entire food chain with respect for the planet, people and food. Atria promotes sustainability in its operations and value chain at all levels of responsibility.
Cost inflation and economic uncertainty revolutionised consumer behaviour and food choices in our markets in 2023, but they did not affect our responsibility work, and we continued to drive our key objectives with determination and good results. We focused in particular on tackling climate change, reducing emissions from food production and proving the sustainability of our value chain.
- We have a broad impact on people and society around us. We are a large employer, providing income and value not only to our own staff but also to producers, subcontractors and partners, says Merja Leino, Vice President, Corporate Responsibility.
The Atria Group's Corporate Responsibility Report describes the concrete measures of the company's responsibility programme and how work towards the targets has progressed. The report provides extensive information on the environmental and social responsibility impacts of Atria Group's operations throughout our value chain.
The report can be found on Atria's website: www.atria.com/en/csr/csr-reporting/
