Our footprint is most visible in transport, business travel and greenhouse gas emissions linked to steel and concrete. On the positive side, we contribute with energy-efficient buildings, solar panels, heat recovery and reduced food waste.
Risks concerns loss of trust from customers and partners, and rising compliance demands that potentially could complicate operations.
New markets are emerging, especially in short-distance food and temperature-controlled solutions. Smarter transport and procurement create both savings and competitive advantages.
Materials such as steel, foam and concrete affect the environment, yet certified materials and reuse enable more sustainable solutions.
Inefficient resource use can harm our reputation and create financial pressure as new rules and fees take effect.
By choosing certified materials and using resources efficiently, Svalinn can reduce impact, strengthen competitiveness and meet future demands.
We contribute positively through competitive salaries, pensions and insurance, and by providing a safe workplace that follows HSE (health, safety and environment) standards.
Work-related injuries, weak HSE compliance and low psychological safety can hurt productivity and reputation, and raise costs and turnover.
Investments in training and health strengthen competence, reduce sick leave, and improve overall well-being. A stronger focus on sustainability also makes the company more attractive to new, committed employees.
Svalinn Group actively promotes fair working conditions among suppliers and subcontractors. Through clear requirements, the company ensures that employees throughout the value chain are treated with respect and in accordance with sustainable principles.
Lack of compliance with requirements and regulations among suppliers can lead to increased costs, damaged trust, and project delays, especially when corrective measures are required.
A transparent and responsible supply chain strengthens Svalinn Group’s reputation, builds customer loyalty, and attracts sustainability-focused investors. At the same time, improved relationships can create more efficient processes and reduce costs.
Through strict safety and quality standards, Svalinn Group builds trust with its customers and delivers reliable products. Regular customer surveys and open dialogue ensure high satisfaction and loyalty, while a strong focus on sustainable development and green alternatives drives awareness and responsible choices.
If customers prioritize cheaper options over sustainable alternatives, it may slow progress. In addition, an inability to meet customer expectations can lead to dissatisfaction, reputational damage, and lost business opportunities.
A strong focus on sustainability and energy efficiency creates competitive advantages. By building closer relationships and collaborating with customers, Svalinn Group can both strengthen loyalty and drive development forward.
Svalinn Group sets clear requirements for suppliers regarding ethical standards and sustainable operations. Through effective systems that ensure ethical business conduct and sound payment practices, the company promotes responsible business relationships.
Failure to comply with ethical guidelines or the discovery of unethical behavior can result in reputational damage, higher costs, and lost business opportunities. The risk is particularly significant if partners fail to meet the company’s standards.
A high level of integrity and strong business ethics enhances brand reputation, increases customer loyalty, and attracts ESG-focused investors. At the same time, improved governance and control can lead to more efficient processes and lower costs.
Det första steget i värdekedjan innebär utvinning och produktion av råvaror som används i material som stål, betong och trä.
Nästa steg är produktion hos leverantörerna. Här omvandlas de utvunna resurserna till material som vi använder i våra projekt. Dessa material inkluderar bland annat paneler, fogmassa och fästelement.
I detta steg transporteras inköpta varor från leverantörerna till oss. De flesta material köps från leverantörer i Polen, och transporten sker huvudsakligen med lastbil. Detta utförs av en extern leverantör, men vi ställer stränga krav på arbetsvillkor för chaufförerna och fordonens standard. Dessa krav kontrolleras regelbundet vid leveranser.
Administrationen hanterar den dagliga driften av företaget. Marknadsföring ökar företagets synlighet och attraherar nya kunder. Försäljning förhandlar kontrakt, säkrar försäljning och erbjuder skräddarsydda lösningar baserade på kundernas behov.
Under projekteringen planeras och designas projektet, inklusive strukturella och tekniska specifikationer. Ritare och projektledare arbetar tätt tillsammans för att uppnå optimala resultat. Därefter påbörjas själva byggnationen och/eller monteringen av rummen.
Lagerdrift hanterar mottagning, lagring och distribution av material och utrustning. Alla avdelningar har sina egna mindre lager, medan båda dotterbolagen har större lager med tillhörande fabriker. På fabriken bearbetas materialen så att de är anpassade och klara för användning i projekten.
Vi erbjuder uthyrning av kyl- och fryskontainrar för kunder som behöver tillfällig eller långsiktig lagring av temperaturkänsliga varor. Detta inkluderar kontraktsförhandlingar, leverans och hämtning av containrar.
Produkter levereras till kunder på ett effektivt sätt, vilket inkluderar logistik samt intern eller extern transport beroende på lastens storlek. Kundanvändning fokuserar på att kunderna ska få största möjliga nytta av produkterna, med vägledning och service efter behov.
Avyttring hanterar processen för att göra sig av med överflödiga eller använda kyl-/frysrum eller andra byggnader. Vi strävar efter att genomföra detta på ett så ansvarsfullt och miljövänligt sätt som möjligt, genom återvinning, återanvändning och källsortering.
2025 has strengthened Svalinn Group’s commitment to sustainability. We have achieved a stronger data foundation, more structure, and greater awareness across the organization. At the same time, we recognize that our industry still faces significant challenges related to material use, transport, and resource efficiency.
Throughout the year, we have also seen how small, practical improvements can have a major impact when implemented consistently. Collaboration with suppliers and customers has shown that joint efforts are essential to reduce our climate footprint and create more sustainable solutions. This work contributes not only to better projects, but also to increased trust in the market.
We choose to report voluntarily because the insights gained lead to better decisions and stronger relationships. Our goal is not to appear perfect, but to demonstrate progress, transparency, and a commitment to continuous improvement.
