10 OUR BUSINESS MODEL Data and transparency D ata is vital to VIKING’s sustainability journey. Data provide us with precise measurements and insights, allowing us to set actionable, realistic sustainability goals and diligently track our progress. This is particularly important within our energy efficiency, resource management, procurement, product innovation, transport, service planning and emission control. Over the last four years, we have made significant progress in our efforts to create activity based and high-quality data transparency across our global network of production facilities, service stations and offices. From early on, we understood that it is not enough to just have data; we also need robust methods to validate data, structure data, understand data, and actively use data to systematically improve our business.

OUR BUSINESS MODEL 11 In 2024, we took yet another step forward towards data transparency by teaming up with the renowned Danish consulting company Kraka Economics for a first-of-its-kind partnership to create a full ESG benchmarking tool/methods, helping companies everywhere compare ESG data, methodologies, robustness and results. The tool/ methods are based on some of the largest data sets in Europe. The pioneering project reached its first major milestone in late 2024 with the first ESG data benchmark of VIKING, which also included a detailed validation of VIKING´s data and calculation methods.
