SUSTAINABILITY FOR MELLBY GÅRD

Each company in the Group is also encouraged to
get involved in social issues that are important
to them. The spring of 2022 marked the start
of the Russian invasion of Ukraine, shaking
the whole of society but also creating a huge
desire to act in support of the war-torn areas
and their people.

“I’m very impressed with all the activities
in our group of companies related to
helping the Ukrainian people,” says
Johan Andersson. “We’ve provided
everything from clothing and other
necessities for those affected on the
ground to training and education
for refugees here in Sweden. We’re
particularly proud of Feralco’s ‘Water
for Ukraine’ industry initiative, which,
together with the Ukrainian Ministry
of the Environment, has managed to
maintain deliveries of water treatment
chemicals right up to the front line to
secure the supply of clean water in war-
torn areas.”

Going forward, Johan Anderson does
not see any tendency for sustainability to
become less important or for demands to
be relaxed – on the contrary. As more and
more people become increasingly informed
and interested, they will continue to drive
change. This concerns both how sustainable
companies become in their own operations, but
also the impact they have on society at large.

“As I see it, there’s really no alternative to acting
sustainably; it is and will remain a necessity for any
modern company,” says Johan Andersson. “The big
question is how you choose to act. If you do the right
things at the right time to future-proof your business,
you’re well placed to remain relevant – as a company and
as an investment partner!”
