Materiality analysis

ICA Gruppen’s sustainability work is based on a materiality analysis, which takes its starting point in the UN’s Global Sustainable Development Goals, the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact, ICA Gruppen’s policies, and structured dialogues with stakeholders.

The materiality analysis was conducted for the first time in 2008 and is revised every year. During 2022 a more comprehensive update of the materiality analysis was conducted and included an overview of sustainability issues included, as well as of the internal process. The companies in ICA Gruppen operate in different sectors and different markets. Each of the companies therefore identifies its material issues based on the company’s influence on the issue and its stakeholders’ assessment of its importance. The company-specific analyses are then summed up in ICA Gruppen’s materiality analysis, which aims to provide strategic direction to group-wide sustainability priorities and reporting. ICA Gruppen’s updated analysis shows that the climate issue continues to be in strong focus together with the products and services that the Group offers and the quality assurance of these, as well as inclusion and diversity issues in relation to ICA Gruppen’s employees. Issues further out in the value chain are also considered to be important, but ICA Gruppen’s ability to directly influence them is smaller, and stakeholders’ expectations are somewhat lower.
