Heba & Kinnarps Drive Innovation with Digital and Sustainable Strategies

Swedish companies Heba Fastighets AB and Kinnarps are leading modernization within their respective industries by embracing technology and sustainability. Heba Fastighets AB is adopting a digital-first approach to property management, branded 'smart förvaltning' (smart management). This initiative is designed to proactively identify and resolve building-related issues. The system incorporates centralized data rooms, digital twins that provide technicians with in-depth building insights, and the use of the Internet of Things (IoT) to allow machinery to autonomously report potential malfunctions. According to CEO Patrik Emanuelsson, the objective is to increase efficiency for both tenants and employees. He also highlighted that this strategy structurally unifies property data, ensuring consistent information access for all stakeholders. In a related development, workplace solutions provider Kinnarps is making significant strides toward its sustainability targets. Corporate Sustainability Manager Johanna Ljunggren announced the company's commitment to halving its greenhouse gas emissions by 2030, using a 2019 baseline, and achieving net-zero emissions by 2050. Having already reduced emissions by 46%, Kinnarps is transitioning its freight transport to Preem Redefine HVO100, a renewable diesel. This Svanen-labelled fuel offers a reduction in greenhouse gas emissions exceeding 90% compared to conventional diesel. Daniel Granquist, Preem Business Developer, confirmed that the fuel is derived from residual products and is palm oil-free.
