Economic

Being a global leader in outdoor power products, with 15,000 employees in 42 countries, and products sold via dealers and retailers in more than 100 countries, Husqvarna Group contributes to economic development among its stakeholders and economic prosperity in a number of local communities.

The economic value that Husqvarna Group creates by selling the Group's products benefits a long line of stakeholders; employees in the form of wages and other benefits, suppliers in the form of payments for delivered goods, customers and end-users in the form of high-quality products, the society (state and municipalities) in the form of tax revenues, and shareholders in the form of dividends and share appreciation.

A certain proportion stays in the Group to secure long-term value creation through investments, product development and marketing. Husqvarna Group's total added value in 2011 amounted to SEK 7,859m (9,014).
