Transport

Axfood’s business requires extensive product flows. Axfood strives to ensure that these transports are long-term sustainable as far as possible. Axfood manages its logistics flows through the subsidiary Dagab and through a central purchasing and product range function.

Transports are conducted under own management via the subsidiaries Dagab and Axfood Närlivs as well as through subcontracted freight companies.

All delivery trucks are to have well planned routes and shall always be driven as
fully loaded as possible. When renewing the fleet, vehicles with the environmentally best and commercially most viable engines are to be chosen. All new delivery trucks that are purchased are equipped with alcohol ignition locks.

To minimize environmental impact, Dagab and Axfood Närlivs work continuously with a range of measures, including:

• Maximizing loads, i.e., making sure that delivery vehicles are always filled as much as possible
• Reducing fuel consumption by setting a maximum speed limit of 85 km/h
• Restricting use of diesel fuel to environmental grade 1

Both Dagab and Axfood Närlivs use socalled eco-driving techniques to reduce fuel consumption by the Company’s delivery vehicles, and drivers receive training in this
technique.

Travel and company cars

Axfood strives to reduce the extent of business travel. Accordingly, employees are
required to always consider videoconferencing as an alternative to travel. In addition, the Group’s business travel policy calls for an increase in the share of business travel by rail instead of by car or air.

When choosing a company car, Axfood’s employees are required to select an environmental car according to the current definitions.
