The plan sets out the foundation for Saab’s work, detailing ambition and execution within the field. The plan describes decarbonisation strategies, financing the transition, risk & opportunities, collaboration and governance.

Saab is committed to delivering value for our stakeholders whilst driving a green and social transition. This requires product innovation, resource efficiency and new technologies to reduce Saab's climate impact, alongside our growth journey and adapting to the future.
