Mission statement

Inspiring events
The association’s subsidiary DLF Service AB arranges a couple of annual events that work as networking arenas and attract several hundred executives. We arrange a large number of free of charge webinars as well as two major on-site events (Höstmötet/The Autumn Meeting and Foodservice) that are of great interest and value to our members.
Trade initiatives

In signing the 2025 Transportation Initiative, the FMCG industry affirms its voluntary commitment to pursue the goal of accelerating the transition to a fossil-free transport system. The goal is that our member companies should have ended the use of fossil fuels domestically by 2025. Read more
Matmissionen (The Food Mission) is a collaboration between DLF, Svensk Dagligvaruhandel and Stockholms Stadsmission which enables our member companies to donate excess products that otherwise would have gone to waste, to Matmissionen’s social supermarkets.
As one of 22 industries in the Swedish business sector, and within the scope of the national initiative Fossil Free Sweden, the Swedish fast moving consumer goods (FMCG) industry has produced our own roadmap for fossil-free competitiveness.
Business activities
The business activities carried out alongside our trade association work include the subsidiary ClearOn, the partly-owned companies Svenska Retursystem, GS1 Sweden, Swedish Plastic Recycling and Näringslivets Producentansvar.
