HKScan’s Business Units in Finland and Sweden improved, EBIT weakened clearly in Denmark and the Baltics. In April-June, EBIT totalled 3.7 (0.1) M€ and comparable EBIT 0.7 (0.6) M€. In Finland, we made strategic investment decisions in growing meals and snacks categories. Food service sales recovered gradually. We did well in our own branded products, especially in meals, meal components and meat products.
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.
