Sustainability. We want to be a force for good.
We have a responsibility for the impact we have on the world around us, and we want to be a force for good in the communities where we are present.
Bonnier feels a special responsibility to ensure our society is more open, interesting, entertaining and well-informed.
Our efforts with sustainability are managed on a daily basis as close to our operations as possible. Bonnier is a decentralized group, and subsidiaries set their own sustainability goals connected to their respective business areas.

As the parent company, the Bonnier Group has identified five areas central to sustainability efforts and providing a long-term benefit to society. Every business should work to minimize our total carbon footprint and with our unique values, contribute to the common core values of diversity, responsible management, a good working environment – and protecting freedom of speech. Bonnier has a unique responsibility when it comes to the focus area Freedom of Speech. We have stood up for free speech throughout the company’s more than 200-year history, and in recent years it is more important than ever to support. An open and pluralistic public dialog is the foundation for democracy.
