HKScan, one of the largest food companies in Northern Europe, has been working on sustainability at the group level for a long time. The company has ambitious targets under its corporate responsibility programme, including achieving a carbon-neutral food chain by the end of 2040. However, the company faced challenges in collecting and managing Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) data across its 17 production units spread across Finland, Sweden, the Baltic States, Denmark, and Poland. The EU directive on the reporting of non-financial information, which came into force in 2017, necessitated more systematic ESG data collection. Previously, HKScan collected data manually using Excel spreadsheets, a method that was not only rigid but also prone to errors, especially given the size and geographical spread of the organization.
