Enabling change
Alfa Laval contributes to progress towards the UN Sustainable Development Goals for 2030. We continuously improve our own sustainability performance and enable change by supporting customers to reach their environmental targets.
Alfa Laval’s products and solutions enable our customers to improve the efficiency of their production processes by, for example, improving energy efficiency, reusing water or reducing waste. Moreover, Alfa Laval supports the transition to a more sustainable future in the energy, food and marine industries.
For the most part, 2023 became a year of operational stability. After a several years of exceptional volatility due to the pandemic and geopolitical turmoil, global supply chains normalized, and customer service and delivery lead times improved through the year. Cashflow was a good indicator of the improved business conditions and increased to a record level of 10 BSEK for the full year. Although it was expected, it did confirm the strength of Alfa Laval´s operating model.
