The emissions data is cascaded from its parent company, Axfood AB (publ), which oversees the overall sustainability strategy and performance metrics. Overall, Axfood's emissions data and climate commitments highlight a proactive approach to addressing climate change, with a focus on reducing operational emissions while navigating the complexities of its supply chain emissions.
