ESG | Semler

Semler Gruppen is a market leader in Denmark – and we know that our position imposes certain obligations on us. We take our social responsibility seriously and do our best to operate a responsible business which makes a positive contribution to society. Those are not just empty words – we put them into action.

CSR is one of our five equally important strategic pillars, the other four being our customers, employees, investors and partners. We are confident that a socially responsible business development is a prerequisite for our continued success and future relevance as a player in the car industry and the agricultural machinery industry – industries that have over time widely affected today’s society.

Due to the ongoing transition of the car industry towards an increased share of electric vehicles, to the absolute necessity of reducing the environmental impact of road transport as well as to the stricter requirements faced by the agricultural sector, it is only natural that we also contribute specific solutions.

Respectful, dedicated, innovative and cheerful. Those are Semler Gruppen’s values, which serve as guidelines for our conduct. However, they also make up the foundation of our socially responsible ambitions.

From ambition to action

The ESG strategy of Semler Gruppen identifies and gives priority to focus areas concerning climate and environment, social matters and employees as well as governance and conduct. It requires dedicated efforts to put the strategy into action. To this end, we have set up an ESG organisation. Through active involvement of Semler Gruppen’s employees and stakeholders, the organisation will ensure that we achieve our ambitions.

As of 2025 our CSR report is integrated with our corporate annual report, which can be read here:
