Axkid has been awarded an “Excellent” rating in the ESG Transparency Award, achieving a score of 87.04 percent. This recognition places Axkid among the leading companies in its industry for transparent and structured sustainability reporting.
Transparency is a core principle in Axkid’s sustainability work. For the company, this means communicating not only achievements and goals, but also the challenges it faces and the lessons learned along the way – an approach that is now being recognised externally as well.
Johan Andersson, Sustainability Manager at Axkid, explains: “This recognition isn’t just about success, it’s about openness. We’ve always believed that sharing both achievements and challenges creates real progress. Our hope is to inspire others and start conversations that matter for the entire industry.”
What is the ESG Transparency Award?
The ESG Transparency Award, established by EUPD Research, evaluates how companies disclose information related to environmental, social and governance (ESG) topics. The assessment covers five key areas: transparency, environment, social, governance and regulatory landscape.
Unlike many awards that primarily highlight environmental performance, this recognition emphasizes traceability, structure and accountability in reporting, rewarding organizations that share both progress and areas for improvement.
