Ahlsell continues to strengthen its role in the green transition by combining growth with science-based climate targets. In 2025, the Group’s emissions decreased while progress continued in climate data transparency, circular initiatives, and close collaboration across the value chain.
Sustainability is a central part of the Ahlsell Group’s business strategy, Growth that Matters, which combines the ambition to grow significantly by 2030 with a commitment to reducing climate impact in line with science-based targets.
– We are living in a time of significant change and opportunity. At Ahlsell, we are determined to be part of the solution. Sustainability is one of our strongest business drivers and an integral part of our growth, says Claes Seldeby, President and CEO of Ahlsell Group.
In 2025, we continued our efforts towards fulfilling the vision of building a more sustainable society. A cornerstone of our sustainability strategy is the SBTi-approved target to reduce Scope 3 emissions by 42 percent by 2030. As the majority of emissions stem from the manufacture and use of the products sold, collaboration across the value chain is critical. During 2025, Ahlsell further strengthened access to product-specific emissions data, gradually enabling customers to make more informed, lower-carbon choices.
– I am pleased to see that our climate emissions decreased during the year. Our targets act as drivers for innovation in collaboration with suppliers and customers, and we are proud of the progress we are making. Improved data quality, circular business models and continued renewal across the value chain are essential to accelerating the transition, says Christina Lindbäck, Chief Sustainability Officer of Ahlsell Group.
By leveraging our Nordic platform, digitalisation, targeted acquisitions and closer supplier cooperation Ahlsell is making sustainable products and solutions commercially viable while working to decouple emissions from financial growth. Circular initiatives such as reuse programmes, recycling projects and extended-life services reduce virgin material use and improve resource efficiency. People remain at the heart of sustainable growth. We continue to invest in AI-supported processes and data-driven decision-making to improve customer interfaces and free up time for employees to create value.
– Our long-term ambition is clear: to make 2026 its best year ever - delivering sustainable growth that truly matters for customers, society and future generations, says Claes Seldeby, President and CEO of Ahlsell Group.
