ICA reduces its stake in Netto Solna 7 December 2006 Today ICA AB and Dansk Supermarked have signed an agreement regarding ownership changes in Netto. ICA will reduce its stake in Netto from 50 percent to 5 percent. As part of the deal ICA will acquire 21 Netto stores in the Mälardalen area to convert some of them into ICA stores. Netto Marknad AB was founded in August 2001 as a joint venture between ICA AB and Dansk Supermarked AS. “In choosing between investing more in Netto and continuing to focus on the ICA formats, we now choose to concentrate on ICA”, says Kenneth Bengtsson, CEO and President ICA AB. ICA will during a transition period operate the stores in the Mälardalen region under the Netto brand and is retaining a five percent holding in Netto to safeguard its interests in the company. During the first nine months this year, the 21 Netto stores in the Mälardalen region had a turnover of in total SEK 464 million. Some of these stores will be converted to ICA stores and some will be divested. ICA will also assume responsibility for leased distribution centers along with personnel and stock in both stores and distribution units in the Mälardalen area. In 2005, Netto had a net turnover of SEK 2,052 million and reported a loss of SEK 180 million. During the first nine months of 2006, Netto had a net turnover of SEK 1,788 million (1,510), of which ICA’s share of losses amounted to SEK 45 million (-60). Netto has 84 stores in Sweden and around 1,350 employees in total. The agreement is generating a structural cost for ICA AB of approximately SEK 25 million during the fourth quarter. This transaction is subject to approval from the competition authorities, which is expected to be finalized in the first quarter of 2007.

Statement of Support for the Objectives of the Cerrado Manifesto We, The
Statement of support for the objectives of the Cerrado Manifesto We, the undersigned companies, are committed to halting forest loss associated with agricultural commodity production and to working with industry, producers, governments and civil society to protect globally important natural landscapes within a framework of good governance and land planning policy. We recognise the critical importance of the Cerrado for its role in climate change mitigation, as a repository for biodiversity, as the source of many of Brazil’s fresh water systems, and additionally as a production region for the agricultural commodities used in our products. However, we also recognise the extent and pace of native vegetation loss resulting from cattle and soy expansion in the Cerrado poses a significant threat to these social, environmental and economic values. The Brazilian Forest Code is designed to ensure agricultural production and environmental protection are balanced. It is an important legislative mechanism requiring, for example, land registration and compensation for historical forest loss, however it offers little protection in the Cerrado where only 20% of each private property is required by law to be set aside for conservation. This wide gap between tackling ‘illegal’ deforestation and achieving zero net deforestation goals is a cause for major concern. 85%1 of the conversion of native vegetation for soy in the Cerrado is legal under the Forest Code. So while compliance with regulation is essential, at the same time, regulation on its own is currently insufficient for the protection of the Cerrado. Recent research indicates the availability of substantial areas of already cleared land. Incentivising expansion onto these areas rather than further conversion of native vegetation, alongside the improvement of the cattle sector’s current low productivity (to make room for soy expansion), offers a viable and more sustainable pathway forward for agricultural production in the Cerrado.

The Vision of a Sustainable Brand a Case Study on Internal Governance and Control of Sustainability in ICA Sverige
Visionen om ett hållbart varumärke En fallstudie på ICA Sveriges hållbarhetsstyrning The Vision of a Sustainable Brand A Case Study on Internal Governance and Control of Sustainability in ICA Sverige Författare: Theo Henningsson (960223) Elias Thorsson (971020) VT 2020 Självständigt arbete, avancerad nivå, 30 hp Ämne: Företagsekonomi Handelshögskolan vid Örebro universitet Handledare: Kristian Kallenberg Examinator: Katarina Arbin Abstract Level: Master thesis in business administration, advanced level, 30 credits Authors: Theo Henningsson and Elias Thorsson Tutor: Kristian Kallenberg Title: The Vision of a Sustainable Brand: A Case Study on Internal Governance and Control of Sustainability in ICA Sverige Background: Based on the emergence of the stakeholder discourse, the demands on corporate responsibility have increased. Contemporary corporates must consider sustainability and act sustainably to fulfill stakeholders’ expectations. They therefore need to implement ethical codes and establish a sustainable values foundation in all parts of the organization. In Sweden, food retailers are among the top-rated brands for sustainability, despite the fact that they are operating in an industry with a large climate impact. However, the question remains how individual food retail stores can act sustainably when the words of values statements and corporate documents need to be converted into concrete actions. Purpose: The study aims to increase the understanding of how a Swedish food retail organization operates and integrates sustainability into its internal governance and control practices. Through a case study, the study also aims to increase the understanding of whether or not the contextual factors of ownership structure, size and environment affect the internal governance and control of sustainability in ICA Sverige.
