Materials

Haypp Group encourages both its partners and employees to reduce the use of non-renewable material, as well as whenever possible choose renewable material in operation. 

Haypp Group try to reduce the use of non-renewable material, as well as, whenever possible, choose renewable material in operation as well as certified material. Most material Haypp Group purchases are for packaging of orders sent out from our warehouses. Partners are encouraged to take similar actions.

Among the material purchased in 2022 for the Swedish warehouse, corrugated cardboard stands for the largest share of material. It is made from at least 95 per cent renewable material and is recyclable. In total, 86 per cent of the cardboard was used for orders shipped to customers, while the remaining 14 per cent (27 206kg) was used in the supply chain and logistics with transporters. The previously used e-commerce bags have been changed to paper bags. The labelling material is since 2022 FSC certified and is currently made of 15 per cent recycled material, which plans to the changed to fully recycled material in the coming year.

Energy

Haypp Group’s electricity consumption in Sweden was approximately 98 000 kWh from its warehouse operation, while the head office consumed 27 476 kWh, in 2022. For the facilities outside of Sweden the data has not been available. 60 per cent of the electricity consumption for the warehouse is sourced from solar panels and the rest is purchased, while the head office uses 100% renewable electricity.

In addition to above, the energy consumption pertained to ventilation and heating was approximately 165 000 kWh for the warehouse and 21 966 kWh for the head office, while the cooling amounted to 15 471 kWh.

The new employees are divided into the following age groups: (i) 37 (20) people under 30 years old, (ii) 30 (25) people between 30 and 50 years old and (iii) 2 (2) people over 50 years old.

Haypp Group does not apply any collective bargaining agreements.

We provide benefits such as insurance coverage for health care, disability and invalidity coverage and offers benefits as retirement provision and stock ownership. Benefits for part-time employees are provided in correspondence to the percentage of work they performed, e.g. employment equal to 25 per cent of a full-time employment receives 25 per cent of the benefit values, however health insurance coverage is full. All Swedish citizens are entitled to parental leave. 14 (15) employees took parental leave, of which 6 (10) were male and 8 (5) female, during 2022.

Occupational health and safety

Haypp Group did not have a reporting system for occupational health and safety management but all employees are covered by such a system. There are more safety routines and procedures for warehouse staff than for staff working from the head office.

Training is provided to all employees on occupational health and safety routines, particular training applies for warehouse staff.

Training and education

Haypp Group does not document the average hours of training per employee nor programs to upgrade employee skills and transition assistance programs. Haypp Group encourages all employees to partake in training in relation to upgrade employee skills which is made in dialogue with respective manager. All employees have annual mid-year and end-of -year reviews relating to performance and career development. Managers are encouraged to focus on coaching respective team members.

Diversity and equal opportunity

Of the persons making up our Board of Directors, 33 per cent are female (33) and 67 per cent are male (67). 33 per cent are between 30 and 50 years old (50) and 67 per cent are above 50 years old (50). 

Considering all employees, 41 per cent are female (35), and 59 per cent are male (65). 40 per cent of all employees are under 30 years old (29), 55 per cent are between 30 and 50 years old (66) and 6 per cent are over 50 years old (5).

Haypp Group do salary comparison between roles for its Swedish employees. Roles are divided into eight categories to be evaluated with comparable positions and responsibilities. In the first two categories, as well as the two highest, the differences are none or slim. If anything, the salary would be slightly higher for female than male employees. However, the four categories in the middle, where the greater part of all employees are included, there is a male favour of between 10-19 per cent between in terms of salary. Haypp Group take this matter very serious. In terms of other renumeration there are no significant differences recorded between similar role and responsibility.

For 2022 the gender salary gap decreased notably. The latest salary comparison showed a difference of 3-9 per cent in favour of males among mid- and senior-level specialists, while among heads of departments and business managers, the difference is 8-10 per cent in favour of women. A clear focus on the issue of the gender gap has made a difference, and continued focus is needed in both directions.
