About the report

 

Our point of departure is a materiality analysis based on an impact assessment and stakeholder dialogue conducted during 2020. In 2021 Lendo started measuring progress, which is the report’s subject. Sustainability is a broad subject and can include various definitions and measures. This report highlights how Lendo affects the community and environment through different efforts and prioritisation. This report has been prepared in accordance with the GRI Standards reference claim, referring to the standards of 2016.

These goals are divided into different aspects. Each aspect is presented with our long term ambitions, what we have achieved so far and suggested targets for the following years.
