ÅF report to CDP

For you to be able to see how sustainable ÅF is, we report our carbon emissions to the organisation CDP. CDP supply the investment community with data on climate strategy, greenhouse gas emissions, energy use and the risks and opportunities from climate change from thousands of the world’s largest companies. To be one of the companies that report to CDP is a matter of course for us to be able to put ÅF’s sustainability work in comparison with other companies, in a transparent and open way.
