Focus on food and health

ICA Gruppen presents its Sustainability Report for the first quarter of 2015
today. The report covers important events and initiatives within the
environment, quality, ethical trade, health and community engagement.
“In the first quarter of the year once again the focus is on health. Health has
become one of the most central issues for our times. One of our strategic
priorities for 2015 is to help our customers make sustainable and healthy
choices,” says Per Strömberg, CEO of ICA Gruppen AB.

Read more about the following:

• Development of the organic range
During the quarter, ICA Sweden’s organic sales in the central product range
increased by 59% (43). At the same time the organic range was developed
including the launch of a large number of new organic dairy products.

• Major focus on healthy food
In Sweden, the new launch of “ICA Gott Liv” (ICA Good Life), a line of products
with low salt and sugar content, less fat and more fibre, started in February.

• New app for climate-right choices
In cooperation with Uppsalahem, WWF and Chalmers, among others, ICA Sweden
launched the pilot project “Klimaträtt” (Climate Right). This centres on a newly
developed app in which key areas such as living, food, transport and other
consumption can be registered. Through the app the project participants receive
feedback on how their own lifestyle affects the climate.

• Major campaign to collect unused medicines
To reduce the amount of unused medicines that are discarded in Swedish household
waste, during the quarter Apotek Hjärtat started an extensive campaign aimed at
collecting unused medicines.
