Visit Ylva. fi Are you looking for Ylva's pages? As you can see, they have been taken over. We made room for Ylva's responsible actions in 2022.

Sorry not sorry. Although there are many of them, we promise not to take up too much of your valuable time. We incorporated all the boring and official ones into our financial statements, where we believe sustainability reporting belongs.

Let's be honest, Ylva is responsible for the progression of climate change. We operate in the real estate and restaurant sectors, and guess what: construction, building heating, and food production are globally significant contributors to carbon dioxide emissions. That's why our goal is to do our part and achieve carbon neutrality in our business by the end of 2025.

This is how we advanced our sustainability goals in 2022. Start › X% fewer emissions, 0% explanations. 01 Every actor should reduce their carbon emissions.

We reduced our greenhouse gas emissions by 47% in 2022. In 2022, Ylva's greenhouse gas emissions totaled 857 tCO2. In 2021, emissions totaled 1632 tCO2.

This includes the energy consumption during building usage and food-related greenhouse gas emissions. Emissions from construction projects are accounted for in the year of completion. The calculations for 2021 have been refined after the publication of the 2021 sustainability report.
