Strategy for sustainability

Swedavia is developing the airports of the future and creating sustainable growth for Sweden. By increasing customer value, enhancing accessibility, and driving the transition to sustainable aviation, we contribute to Sweden’s competitiveness and long-term development.

Our strategic approach

A customer focus and sustainable development are the basis of Swedavia’s strategic approach. This strategic approach is our Group-wide guiding principle, which describes the goal we aim for and what strategic moves we need to make to reach this goal. We have formulated four strategies and a base that, combined with an engaged culture, shall help to achieve all of the company’s goals.

Goals and outcomes

Swedavia’s objectives support the company’s mission to strengthen Sweden’s accessibility and competitiveness. By developing attractive airports, creating value for customers and partners, and driving the transition towards more sustainable aviation, we contribute to sustainable growth in Sweden.

Diversity, Inclusion and Equal Opportunities

Sustainability is integrated into Swedavia’s business, governance and strategic direction. Our sustainability work covers climate, environmental, social and responsible business issues, and is monitored through the company’s objectives, risk management and reporting.Sustainability issues are embedded in our business operations through our strategic direction and prioritised material topics, which are translated into objectives and activities within each business and operational plan. Progress is measured and reviewed quarterly by Group Management and the Board of Directors. In this way, sustainability considerations are integrated throughout the entire organisation.

Materiality analysis

Our materiality analysis, which incorporates our stakeholder dialogue and ongoing business intelligence as well as analyses of the impact of our own operations on people, the environment and the economy, serves as the foundation of our strategic approach and what topics shall be the focus of our sustainability work. A new detailed materiality analysis was carried out in 2019. In it, seven priority material topics were identified. The topics not defined as material but that can be considered important to our continued work are addressed as needed in our ongoing business planning.

Our contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Swedavia supports the United Nations Global Compact and works to contribute to sustainable development through responsible business practices, reduced climate impact, and sustainable airports that strengthen Sweden’s accessibility. Progress is reported annually through Swedavia’s Communication on Progress to the United Nations Global Compact.
