Our raw materials are created by nature, grown wild in forests or cultivated on farms. Our business depends on these natural systems – on stable climates, healthy soils and people who are treated fairly – in the 21 countries we source from. For Polarica, sustainability is not a separate programme but an operating condition that shapes how we source, process and sell.
Since 2022 we have moved from earlier Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) activities to a more structured Group-wide sustainability model. Our Sustainability Programme 2022–2026 gave this work clear targets, ownership and follow-up, combining Group-level governance with practical actions at our sites in Sweden, Finland and Poland. It cut Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 91% from the 2021 baseline, brought ISO 14001 certification to all three production sites, and earned our first EcoVadis rating: Bronze, 65/100, in the top 7% for Environment and top 4% for Sustainable Procurement in our industry.
The full results, our progress and the areas where work continues, are presented in our Business and Sustainability Report 2026.
Our earlier work is documented in the previous sustainability reports: 2022, 2023 and 2024. Note: from 2026 onwards, our annual report is published under the title Business and Sustainability Report and uses the publication year as its title. The previous Sustainability Reports used the reporting year instead. Therefore no report titled 2025 exists.
The new programme is built around four themes, each reported annually in our report.
Fair and respectful working culture. Every person in our operations – from own employees to seasonal pickers and supplier site workers – deserves fair pay and dignified conditions.
Sustainable supply chains. Most of our environmental and social footprint sits outside our direct operations, in the farms, forests and facilities we source from across 21 countries.
Leadership with integrity. We hold ourselves to the same standards we ask of others: consistent quality, transparent financial reporting and clear governance at every level.
Protecting nature and mitigating climate impact. Our business starts in nature. Forests, soils and climates are not context but raw material, and we pursue their protection with validated science-based targets.
Our biggest climate challenge is Scope 3 GHG emissions, which account for a vast majority of our total footprint. Purchased raw materials are the largest contributor within Scope 3, making up 94% of it. As sourcing volumes grew in 2025–2026, so did our Scope 3 total.
We have opened discussions on supplier-level carbon measurement with our two largest Scope 3 contributors: frozen mango from Vietnam and strawberries from Egypt. Our aim is to replace estimated emission factors with actual data from suppliers, creating a stronger basis for practical reduction actions together with suppliers.
A Group biodiversity programme is in preparation, due in 2027.
In March 2026 we completed a Human Rights Impact Assessment covering the full value chain, conducted using the Danish Institute for Human Rights methodology. The findings, including the critical ones, are in our report.

For 2025, we bring business and sustainability together in a single annual report: where the business stands, where it is heading, and how sustainability runs through it all. The results are there, and so are the things we haven't solved yet.
Our raw materials grow in ecosystems: Nordic forests, cultivated farmland and tropical growing regions. Protecting them is not a separate commitment, it is a condition for staying in business.
The work shows in the numbers. Scope 1 and 2 emissions are down 91% since 2021, driven by the switch to renewable electricity in Poland and Finland, and water use is down 20% over the same period. The remaining challenge is Scope 3, the emissions in the raw materials we buy, and that is where our 2026–2028 programme focuses.
Human rights at Polarica cover the full value chain: our own employees in three countries, seasonal berry pickers in Nordic forests, and workers at supplier farms and facilities worldwide.
In 2026 we completed a Human Rights Impact Assessment across all of these groups, and we publish the findings, including the critical ones, in our annual report.
Our Code of Conduct is approved by the Board of Directors and applies to every entity in Sweden, Finland and Poland. We publish our tax footprint country by country in our annual report.
A confidential whistleblower channel is open to both employees and external stakeholders, and every report is investigated within a defined process.
