"In 2022, we achieved strong growth rates and improved earnings across all our segments. We delivered an EBITDA of DKK 1,175m. This is an EBITDA increase of 29% and, thus, an all-time high EBITDA margin of 8.5%. This was achieved in a year with unusual market conditions including challenging supply chains and a substantial increase in inflation.

We reduced our Scope 1 & 2 emissions by a total of 23% in 2022. This supports our ambition of reaching Net-Zero by 2030. In addition, we have raised our ambitions further to now also comprising Scope 3 emissions, for which we have requested SBTi to validate a 25% reduction by 2030 compared to 2020.

I am impressed by the high level of dedication and commitment shown by our employees during the year and would like to extend my gratitude to them all. They are the reason for this year's strong results.”
