Hemnet’s sustainability efforts in 2021 During 2021, we developed how we work with sustainability and refined our sustainability reporting. For example, we have updated our company values and ethical framework as well as taken important steps within gender equality and diversity. We have also carried out our first greenhouse gas accounting for Hemnet.
During the year, we have conducted several stakeholder dialogues with our most important stakeholder groups in order to develop our sustainability framework. These dialogues provided insights into the previously performed materiality analysis and resulted in an updated sustainability framework with clear focus areas and performance indicators.
Sustainability framework and focus areas Hemnet’s sustainability framework consists of six focus areas that include areas where Hemnet’s business has the greatest impact. The framework is divided into two parts, where one part includes the focus areas that are an integral part of our business, and the other areas where we, through our brand and strong position, strive to be a positive force in society. In this report, we
follow up all focus areas with performance indicators inspired by, but not fully meeting all the requirements of, the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). In 2022, we will take further steps within our sustainability efforts, including the ambition to complement the sustainability report with clear targets in our focus areas.
