Goals and performance for ASSA ABLOY's sustainability work

Most of the sustainability KPIs improved during 2011 – for the Group as well as for each individual division. In 2010, ASSA ABLOY updated its sustainability program with goals and targets set to run until 2015. The program is based on the Group’s risk assessment procedures, covers material sustainability issues and mandates measurable results.

The overall goal for 2011 was for ASSA ABLOY to ensure a strong implementation of the updated sustainability program throughout the Group in order to achieve the defined short and long-term targets.

With 256 reporting units, it is important to ensure a high level of knowledge of the Group’s sustainability in all parts of the organization and to share information and best practices between entities. The ASSA ABLOY Sustainability database and analysis tool is a key element for tracking ­performance and identifying areas where improvements can be made.

Since 2010, the divisions are obliged to identify and report the most material environmental risks for each individual entity, and also to explain how these risks are managed.

Performance reporting flow

Using the 2010 data as a baseline, the 2011 data was collected and analyzed in order to understand the status quo and to set long- and short-term targets.

Each company is obliged to set targets for the coming year for all of the main KPIs and will report on progress at least every six months to ASSA ABLOY Group.

Each division is fully responsible for the implementation of the sustainability program within its entities and, in ­several cases, a monthly follow-up of the prioritized KPIs and defined actions is conducted.
