Sustainability Forewords Highlights of Group’s sustainability work in 2025 – CEO and Group Head of Sustainability

A pragmatic approach brings our value proposition to life: Affordable can be sustainable

Sustainability is one of the cornerstones in our strategy. As a variety discount retailer, we combine a wide product range with responsible sourcing and consistently good product quality.

Our journey in the Nordics continued strong in 2025. The Group’s store network grew by 12 stores, and the Group established a One Company model to accelerate integration of the operations. Over 6,000 competent employees serving customers across Finland, Sweden and Denmark every day are at the heart of our success. Investing in development and education is therefore essential for future growth. In 2025, 207 employees completed vocational training.

Tokmanni Group adopted its first Environmental Policy, committing especially to advancing climate action and the circular economy. New climate targets for Scope 1–2 and Scope 3 were set and validated by the Science Based Targets initiative (SBTi). Working towards Scope 1–2 target, a climate transition plan was created during the year, and the implementation of planned actions will start in 2026. For Scope 3, Tokmanni Group aims to have 80% of its suppliers by spend committed to Science Based Targets initiative by 2030.

“Besides affordable offering, 
we want to ensure 
good quality 
products produced 
in responsible conditions”

Kaisa Mattson, Group Head of Sustainability

Thanks to a focus on improving energy efficiency and increasing the use of carbon free energy, the Group reduced Scope 1 and 2 emissions by 11% in 2025 compared to 2024. The energy produced from 34,595 solar panels on our own sites corresponds to 7.7% of the Group’s total electricity use.

Tokmanni Group is known for a wide range of products and affordable prices. In combination with this, we want to ensure that our Private Label products are of high quality and produced responsibly. For us, responsible sourcing means safeguarding good working conditions, respecting human rights and managing environmental impacts in supply chains. By emphasising Private Label products and long-term partnerships, we can better monitor and improve supply chain sustainability. During the year, a total of 248 own factory assessments and third-party audits were conducted. Also, a new supplier risk model was created, and an audit planning tool was developed to strengthen audit programmes in risk countries.

As we move forward, we remain committed to embedding sustainability across our value chain. Our goal is simple: to make responsible choices accessible to everyone. Together with our employees, suppliers and customers, we will continue building a future where affordability and sustainability go hand in hand.
