Lantmännen is an agricultural cooperative and Northern Europe’s leader in agriculture, machinery, bioenergy and food products.
We are continually monitoring our progress within each pillar in our sustainability plan. And you can do to. By providing public access to updated information on how we are complying with our own requirements, we want to contribute to a high level of trust and transparency in the global food system.
Progress on climate goals
Based on the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi) our ambition is to reach net-zero GHG emissions across the value chain by 2050. It is going to require new thinking, new processes, and new standards for producing sustainable bread.
Scope 1
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
Since 2019, we have made a 26% decrease in emissions, and this downward trend is continuing. The progress is largely because of various energy efficiency projects, changes in the energy source mix, and targeted investments.
Scope 2
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
Since 2019 there has been a 89% reduction, which is better than expected. This significant reduction is mainly due to using renewable electricity and improving energy efficiency in our operations.
Scope 3
2025 Performance: Optimistic
Since 2019, there has been a modest 9% reduction in emissions. However, we have implemented various initiatives to significantly lower emissions by 2030. A key driver of progress is our ability to engage suppliers. In 2025, we expanded Lantmännen’s Climate & Nature programme to cover 11% of our total flour volume, an important step in reducing emissions at the source. We anticipate that continued supplier engagement and programme expansion will drive a stronger positive impact in the coming years.
Progress on health goals
We want to double our volume of healthier products by 2030. This means products with more fibres and whole grain and with less salt and fewer calories.
Addition of wholegrain
2025 Performance: Optimistic
Addition of wholegrain: We have set goals to ensure that by 2030, 33% of grain ingredients in our Bread and Rye Bread will be wholegrains. In 2025, we were at 28% which shows no progress compared to the 2019 baseline, but reformulation initiatives are in progress in a number of markets.
Increasing fibre levels
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
By 2030, all our bread and fast-food products will contain minimum 3% fiber, and 30% of our wheat bread volume will have more than 6% fiber. For both bread and fast food, we have seen a positive development from the 2019 baseline levels. Wheat Bread – from 55% to 74%, and Fast Food from 22% to 46% in 2025 of volume containing minumum 3% fibre.
Salt reduction
2025 Performance: Behind
By 2030 we want to have reduced the average salt content of our bread and fast-food products with 10%. In 2025, the average salt content of bread was above baseline level, mainly due to mix-changes. There was slight decrease in the average salt content of fast food products compared with the 2019 baseline.
Calorie reduction
2025 Performance: Optimistic
Our goal by 2030 is to reduce the average calorie content per serving by 10% compared to year 2023. Also, 40% of our sweet baked volume should have no more than 250 kcal per serving. In 2025, 26% of our Sweets volume had max. 250 kcal/serving and the average kcal/serving was 285 kcal/serving (284 kcal/serving in baseline year 2023). Reducing calories whilst maintain perfect taste and quality is complicated and we don’t expect quick progress here.
Progress on people goals
We are increasing opportunities for people – among other things by implementing more flexibility for both talents and senior employees, demanding equal pay for equal jobs, and securing a minimum 45/45 gender split in management.
Next generations
2025 performance: Satisfactory
We have committed to tripling the number of people representing the next generations in our organisation. From a baseline of 73 in 2021, the number increased to 195 in 2025 — representing an improvement of approximately 167%. This marks a significant achievement and reflects strong, consistent progress over the period. Notably, the 2025 target was set at 164, meaning the final result not only met expectations but exceeded them by a considerable margin.
Seniors
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
We have set ambitious targets to quadruple our flexible job arrangements for seasoned employees. From 2021 to 2025, we have made remarkable progress, achieving an improvement og 136% against our baseline. With a 2025 target of 164 and a realised result of 168, we exceeded our goal. This development underscores our commitment to supporting our experienced workforce with flexible working options — and to contributing meaningfully to addressing the societal challenge of an aging global population and workforce shrinkage.
Diversity
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
Our efforts to ensure a good gender balance across all managerial positions continue to show meaningful progress. From 2021 to 2025, we have seen a steady improvement of over 4 percentage points from our baseline. This development marks an important step in our ongoing commitment to fairness and equality in the workplace and our deep belief in the value of diversity.
We are making progress toward our 45/45 target, with an achieved gender split in 2025 of 38/62. We remain dedicated to maintaining this momentum and driving continued improvement.
Injury rate
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
We have significantly reduced the injury rate from 17.4 in 2021 to 8.17 in 2025. This represents more than a 50% reduction underpinning our strong commitment to ensuring safer working conditions for our employees across all sites.
Health & Safety remains our highest priority, and we are committed to continuously raising the bar — both in our targets and in building a strong safety culture anchored in a zero-accident mindset.
Total recordable injury rate
2025 Performance: Optimistic
We have significantly reduced the total recordable injury rate from 24.6 to 12.2 in 2025, reflecting our comprehensive approach to minimizing workplace incidents – including those that do not result in absence from work.
Global sickness rate
2025 Performance: Satisfactory
Progress: We have made progress in reducing the global sickness ratesignificantly from 4.8% in 2023 to 4% in 2025 meeting the target of the year. This positive development reflects our ongoing efforts to strengthen sickness management and promoting employee wellbeing across all Unibake sites. We are well on our way to progress towards our 2030 target of 3.5%.
