HKScan’s comparable EBIT has improved for ten consecutive quarters year on year. In January-March, the company’s net sales totalled EUR 427.5 (428.9) million. EBIT improved by EUR 2.8 million to EUR -1.1 (-3.9) million. Clear sales growth of the company’s branded products continued in the retail channel.
We think responsibility is as important in food as good taste. That is why we use local raw materials and focus on creating permanent, climate-friendly operating models together with our farmers and other partners. Our goal is a carbon-neutral food chain by the end of 2040.
We aim to make our own industrial production carbon-neutral by the end of 2025 and to achieve carbon neutrality throughout the farm-to-consumer value chain by the end of 2040 at the latest.
We will grow as a food company in evolving sales channels and product categories preferred by consumers. We will utilise new commercial concepts and digital solutions.
CEO Tero Hemmilä’s video summarises our progress in January-March 2021: “The comparable EBIT was the best first-quarter result in six years. Comparable EBIT, rolling 12 months, rose to nearly 20 million euros at the end of the review period.”
All packaging will be recyclable by the end of 2025 at the latest. At the same time, the company will reduce the carbon footprint of packaging by 20 per cent and decrease the amount of packaging plastic by 20 per cent compared to 2019. In total, the use of plastic will be reduced by millions of kilos.
