03. MATERIALITY ANALYSIS In accordance with Ch. 6
Section 12 of the ÅRL the company is required to report sustainability reports in the environment, social conditions, personnel, human rights and anti-corruption. In order to design a strategic sustainability work where both profitability and relevance are in focus, we have performed a materiality analysis with the aim of identifying the most important sustainability aspects for I.A. Hedin Bil. The results are reported above after the materiality analysis and which issues the company prioritizes with regard to our stakeholders and what we as an organization can help to influence, control and affect the most. I.A. Hedin Bil's sustainability work focuses primarily on the parts we can influence the most and that is the daily work and environmental aspects of our dealerships. Something that is also important to us is a sustainable workforce that enjoys good working conditions, skills development and has a good working environment that is safe and healthy. Our workshops have several laws and regulations regarding the environment and work environment to follow. Car manufacturers also demand that salesmen and mechanics take their courses to learn new models. We cannot influence the content of these educations. The development of the automotive industry continues and the production of electric vehicles (EV) such as Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles (PHEV), and Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV) is increasing. Hedin Bil will provide what customers demand and car manufacturers decide. As for our own dealerships, there is more to do here. Despite successful efforts, there are dealerships to streamline, reduce and change the consumption of electricity, heat, water, and an increase of material recycling and thereby create a more sustainable business from several points of view. New dealerships that are built are made with an environmentally conscious mind from the beginning. It may be a more expensive investment, but savings in the future both in terms of costs and resources.
