Our way of working
Gränges’ Group Management, which includes the SVP Sustainability, ensures that Gränges’ global sustainability strategy, long-term targets and policies are aligned with the company’s vision and strategy. Group Management also reviews and monitors regional and group-wide performance against sustainability targets, and makes decisions related to global sustainability priorities.
Gränges’ CEO presents sustainability performance at each Board of Directors meeting as part of the overall business update. The Board of Directors reviews and monitors progress against the company’s targets and approves the global sustainability strategy, long-term targets, and policies, as well as the annual sustainability report. In 2024, the SVP Sustainability reported quarterly to the Audit Committee and annually to the Board of Directors, covering updates such as the Double Materiality Assessment, limited assurance scope, and CSRD readiness.
The Group Sustainability function, headed by the SVP Sustainability, is responsible for leading the development and execution of Gränges’ global sustainability strategy and long-term targets, as well as issuing sustainability-related policies. Other responsibilities include ensuring alignment with the Double Materiality Assessment and identified impacts, risks and opportunities, coordinating continuous stakeholder dialogue, and regularly communicating performance to both internal and external stakeholders.

The SVP Sustainability also chairs two cross-regional teams within Sustainability and Source Green & Recycle (SG&R), in which all regional sustainability and SG&R leads are represented. The teams are responsible for leading Gränges’ global sustainability and SG&R efforts, as well as developing global plans. They report biannually to Group Management acting as a Sustainability Board. Ensuring best practice sharing across the organization is also a key objective for both teams.
The regional Presidents are responsible for developing and executing local sustainability plans and targets, aligned with the global strategy and local needs. A systematic follow-up of all regions’ sustainability efforts is done through regional semi-annual Business Boards, chaired by the CEO and represented by Group Management, including the CFO, Deputy CEO, and regional Presidents.
