  • reduced annual CO2 emissions by around 1,000 tonnes by introducing district heating at Clas Ohlson’s distribution centre and head office in Insjön
  • continued to phase out conventional light bulbs through marketing campaigns
  • an NGO cooperation strategy led to the establishment of joint ventures with Save the Children and the Swedish Cancer Society
