Our approach to sustainability

At ALK, our mission to improve the lives of people with allergy goes hand in hand with conducting business responsibly and sustainably. Our sustainability reporting is aligned with the EU Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) and the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS) and is subject to independent limited assurance. We support this framework as it promotes balanced, transparent, and comparable disclosures, aligned with our commitment to provide clear, reliable information to our stakeholders. Our sustainability information, covering ALK’s material environmental, social, and governance (ESG) matters, is disclosed as an integral part of our annual report.

Double materiality assessment

We acknowledge the various sustainability impacts, risks and opportunities associated with our business. As a key element of our CSRD reporting, we annually review our double materiality assessment (DMA). This process consists in identifying the material topics for our company, and is two-fold:

  • we assess how environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues affect our financial performance (financial materiality)
  • we analyse how ALK’s activities impact the environment and society (impact materiality).

Our material topics for 2025 remain unchanged and our focus continues to be on climate change and other environmental issues, our workforce and value chain workers, our consumers and end-users, and our business conduct.

Partnering for sustainability

The challenges of climate change require commitments and partnerships

We have limited time for action and the private sector has a crucial role to play – every sector in every market must transform. By supporting international initiatives and engaging in partnerships, ALK contributes to promoting sustainable business practices globally.
