At the same time, e-commerce continues to show very strong growth. In terms of earnings, we had favourable development on the whole, and we achieved our margin target for 2020. Despite the challenges brought by the pandemic we have maintained continued good momentum in important development projects. The grocery retail market in Sweden continued to grow at a fast rate during the fourth quarter, and growth for the full year ended up at 7.6%. Our performance was slightly weaker than the market during the fourth quarter and full year 2020, but the outcome varied during the year depending on how the spread of the coronavirus impacted travel patterns. We are clearly growing faster than the market online, but the exceptionally high online growth also means that total growth is relatively lower, all else equal. Overall we believe that the pandemic will continue to impact performance for the grocery retail market – at least during the first half of 2021. ICA Sweden – continued strong e-commerce growth The strong sales growth during the fourth quarter included, as earlier in the year, sharp growth in demand for our e-commerce business. E- commerce accounted for roughly 45% of growth in store sales during the quarter and more than 30% for the entire year. We will now soon be initiating the migration to Ocado's e-commerce platform, which will be fully implemented by year-end 2021. This will lead to better functionality both for retailers and customers, and is an important step towards more efficient e-commerce for us. We will also shortly be starting up our dark store in Gothenburg, and in 2022 we will take the next important step with the start-up of our new, automated dark store in Stockholm. We will also be intensifying the work on developing our range and private label product offering – something that we consider to be an important part of being able to continue offering our customers attractively priced products that meet high demands for health, sustainability, inspiration and simplicity. Price value, in particular, will be one of the most central areas of focus in the market we face once the pandemic has ebbed out. Rimi Baltic – tough market with hard restrictions. Apotek Hjärtat – continued weak volume development New restrictions in the Baltic countries marked the end of the year for Rimi Baltic. In Lithuania, however, we noted continued favourable performance during the fourth quarter. Otherwise, the big event during the quarter is that our new warehouse in Riga is now in operation. A few finishing touches remain, but for the most part we are up and running, which creates good conditions going forward to be even more efficient in our logistics in the Baltics. It was the sharp rise in online sales that can be credited for the growth in the pharmacy market during the fourth quarter. Our e-commerce continues to grow faster than the market, but overall we are growing a bit more slowly than the market given that our market share is lower online. However, the e-commerce contribution is steadily improving, and continuing that trend is an important part of the puzzle for restoring profitability over the long term. We are now carrying out certain structural measures to further increase efficiency and strengthen competence. ICA Bank acquires customer portfolio from Forex. ICA Real Estate – strong close to a good year Just before Christmas we reached an agreement with Forex to acquire its customer portfolios for deposits and consumer lending. We see this as a good opportunity to profitably grow the bank's business and at the same time create synergies with existing operations and achieve economies of scale in development of the bank's own platform. In addition, during 2021 the new mortgage company will be launched, which is another important venture for us. ICA Real Estate can put a good year on record with a strong, partly acquisition-driven, earnings improvement and good cost control. New health ambition launched; climate target reached, and historically high earnings premium for employees At the start of 2021 we adopted a new health ambition. The ambition covers three focus areas and applies for all companies in Sweden: physical well-being, mental well-being, and safe and sound use of antibiotics. We can now also definitively say that we reached our "old" climate target, having achieved a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions by 76% from the base year 2006. The remainder will be offset through carbon credits. 2020 was in many ways a tough year, so I am extra happy that on the basis of our strong earnings we can distribute an historically high earnings premium of SEK 10,000 per employee. The earnings premium is paid out to all employees who are not included in any other variable remuneration programme and is calculated based on the number of hours worked during the past year. In summary – a good quarter and a good year, under very special circumstances Following this very special year, we have now moved in to 2021, and we do so with strong self-confidence. We have managed the year's challenges, delivered good earnings and maintained high momentum in the development projects that will be extra important for us going forward. These include, for example, digitalisation, implementation of important e-commerce projects, competence-strengthening and new ambitions and goals in the areas of health and sustainability. With a clear strategy and high level of energy we stand well-prepared to take on 2021. Per Strömberg CEO ICA Gruppen ICA Gruppen | Year-end report 2020 Page 3 of 34 Group performance Net sales and earnings Fourth quarter 2020 Consolidated net sales increased by 5.6% during the quarter compared with 2019. The increase in local currency was 6.2%. This performance is explained by continued positive volume effects, especially in ICA Sweden's wholesale operation, and positive price and mix effects. In contrast to ICA Sweden, the Covid-19 volume effect continued to be negative for Apotek Hjärtat, Rimi Baltic and ICA Bank. Operating profit excluding items affecting comparability increased by SEK 104 million to SEK 1,371 million (1,267). Operating profit improved for ICA Sweden and ICA Real Estate, while it decreased for other businesses. Taken together, the price and volume impact was positive, while Apotek Hjärtat, in particular, had continued negative volume effects.

  • 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.

  • ICA's Ownership Changes in Netto Approved by The
    ICA’s ownership changes in Netto approved by the Swedish Competition Authority Solna 5 February, 2007 The Swedish Competition Authority has decided to approve the agreement that was signed between ICA AB and Dansk Supermarked regarding ownership changes in Netto. Therefore, the parties can proceed with the deal which will be finalized on February 12. ICA announced on December 7 that it had the intention to reduce its ownership in Netto from 50 percent to 5 percent. As part of the deal ICA acquires 21 Netto stores in the Mälardalen area to convert some of them into ICA stores. 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. The agreement generated a structural cost for ICA AB of approximately SEK 25 million during the fourth quarter 2006. Netto Marknad AB was founded in August 2001 as a joint venture between ICA AB and Dansk Supermarked AS.
