At Tokmanni Group, we are committed to advancing the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (UN SDGs) in our business. These goals aim to guide the UN member states’ operations until 2030.

In 2019, we identified the nine most important goals for our work and our stakeholders, and in 2020 we prioritised three goals from the perspective of Tokmanni’s operations: SDG 8: Decent Work and Economic Growth; SDG 12: Responsible Consumption and Production; and SDG 13: Climate Action.

SDG 8: Decent work and economic growth

Decent Work and Economic Growth means for us to be a responsible employer and to promote sustainable economic growth for all. We require our personnel and suppliers to comply with our Code of Conduct.

SDG 12: Responsible consumption and production

We promote Responsible Consumption and Production by ensuring that our sourcing and products are sustainable.

SDG 13: Climate action

Inherent parts of our climate action include the use of resources efficiently, decreasing CO2 emissions, and increasing the share of renewable heating. All the electricity we purchase and consume is carbon-free and over one fourth of our Tokmanni stores and the administration and logistics centre have solar power plants on their roofs. Our accepted science-based targets that are in line with the 1.5 °C degree temperature rise and the Paris agreement, guide our climate work. We also work to reduce emissions in our supply chain, especially with our transportation partners. In addition, we increase the share of products with sustainability labels in our categories, pay more attention to sustainability of raw materials in our products and packaging, and develop business models based on circular economy principles.
