About us

ESG – Environment, Social and Governance

At Gubra we strive to do business in a financially, environmentally, and socially responsible way – a focus we have had since Gubra was founded in 2008. To us ESG is not a destination, it is a journey to give back more than we take. Our ambition, working with the ESG agendas and data, is to gain insights, which we can use to take action in order to make real and positive changes for people and the planet.

Gubra was listed on Nasdaq CPH in March 2023 with a 10% green commitment. We hope this will inspire other companies to follow suit

Key Sustainability Guidelines

1

Investing 10% of
our pre-tax profit

Commitment to invest 10% of our pre-tax profit in environmental activities every year through our subsidiary Gubra Green.

2

Carbon negative

Carbon negativity implies absorbing more CO2 than we are emitting. We do this by stimulating projects aiming at reducing our carbon emissions, planting trees, and when necessary, buying carbon offsets.

3

Nature positive

Our contribution to reversing the decline in biodiversity so that species and ecosystems begin to recover. We do this by e.g. reducing our supply chain impacts, and converting farmland into nature and forests.

4

Inspire & engage

Inspiring and engaging our stakeholders and other companies to fight for a more sustainable world.

5

Order in
our own house

Providing a healthy and non-discriminatory work environment, insisting on proper waste management, and support and encourage our suppliers to live up to environmental and social standards.

“

Actions at all levels are needed

We believe the key to limiting global warming and biodiversity loss is action at all levels, and we are excited for further accelerating our green investments with tangible activities. We believe our commitment will inspire others to join the fight against the climate and biodiversity crisis.

It has been established with a mandate to make passive investments in areas such as reforestation and biodiversity, Greentech, circular economy, and regenerative businesses. Also renewable energies will be a priority.

Afforestation and nature project

In 2019-2021 Gubra bought 150 hectares of conventional farmland on Langeland. During 2020-2022 we have transformed the areas into a mosaic of biodiversity-enhancing nature and CO2-absorbing forest. We have planted 377,000+ trees and shrubs, established 9 new waterholes and laid out 50 hectares of open meadows and grassland. Today, Gubra still owns 69 hectares, and we are looking into what our next green investment will be.

Sponsorships and donations

Prior to our listing as a public company, Gubra actively supported and invested in initiatives spearheading various green activities. We take pride in our past collaborations with these dedicated partners: Den Grønne Ungdomsbevægelse; Fugleværnsfonden; Cyklistforbundet; Wild Works; Plastic Change; Regenerativt Jordbrug; Andelsgaarde; Bird Life Danmark; Skovsgaard Gods. As a listed company we now invest in green assets through our subsidiary Gubra Green.
