01·Company

Sustainability carried from one generation to the next.

The SGN Group is a Finnish family-owned conglomerate founded in 1933. We operate across five business areas and ten companies.

Depending on the industry, we operate in several different business models. In some cases, we sell directly to end users, whether they are consumers or entrepreneurs, and in others we act as a reliable partner for our network of entrepreneur-driven resellers and partners.

The companies of the SGN Group offer both their own and internationally recognised brands to businesses and consumers. In addition to Finland, we have operations in Sweden, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Kazakhstan and Ukraine.

The most important stakeholders of the SGN Group are customers, our own personnel, suppliers, service providers, financiers, authorities, municipal representatives and owners.

Measurement is a prerequisite for progress. We began our sustainability work in 2024 and refine our figures year by year.
01·1·Materiality

Double materiality assessment & climate risks.

Climate risks have been assessed as part of the double materiality assessment carried out. Short-, medium- and long-term climate risks and opportunities have been identified on a company-by-company basis.

The assessment also took into account the results of the stakeholder surveys carried out. 115 of 550 stakeholders responded to the survey.

Based on these, the most material risks and opportunities for the SGN Group have been identified. At overall Group level, the following ESRS topics were identified as material.

We started by measuring our own operations. The supply chain will be refined gradually.

837tCO₂e↓ 39.3% vs. 1.378 (2024)

Total emissions fell by almost 40%.
The largest drop is seen in Scope 2: the switch to 100% renewable electricity, the move to smaller premises and the relocation of the warehouse to an energy-efficient property at the beginning of 2025.
