With nationwide presence, the TINE Group is one of Norway's largest food companies and is a full-scale supplier of dairy products. With deep roots in Norwegian agriculture, TINE use clean and natural raw materials to produce tasty and healthy food and aims to do this through close interaction between Norwegian nature, agriculture, and the market.
As the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (CSRD) introduces new and complex reporting requirements, TINE was looking for more than just technical advice—they needed a trusted partner to guide them through the process of CSRD readiness. The directive’s far-reaching implications demands a combination of regulatory expertise, understanding of core business and reporting processes as well as a strategic approach to integrating sustainability into governance and operations. Deloitte stepped in to the role as a strategic partner for the CSRD readiness journey, combining deep expertise with practical, hands-on support to help TINE navigate this evolving landscape.
TINE has high ambitions to make sustainability a competitive advantage and use CSRD as a trigger for change. We are proud to be supporting TINE in their journey towards CSRD readiness.
Hanne Solem, Director, Deloitte
Working side by side with TINE, we help interpret the CSRD requirements, adapt internal processes, and ensure compliance in a way that fits seamlessly with their operations. Together, we have taken large leaps in advancing TINEs approach to climate and nature climate targets, refining their transition planning and preparing for a more data-driven approach to sustainability performance measurement.
In addition to operational improvements, Deloitte has facilitated a comprehensive learning journey for TINE’s Board of Directors and Management Team. This initiative provided leadership with a thorough understanding of sustainability in the context of TINE and their value chain, highlighting their responsibilities in driving compliance and sustainable growth. Through tailored workshops and strategic discussions, we equipped senior leaders with the knowledge needed to not only meet regulatory demands but also identify the opportunities that CSRD presents for long-term business resilience and value creation.
This close collaboration ensures that TINE is not only prepared to meet CSRD reporting obligations but is also positioned to drive long-term value creation by integrating sustainability into their core business strategy. By embedding the changes introduced by the CSRD into leadership practices, operational processes, and sustainability objectives, TINE is establishing a robust foundation for future growth, resilience, and environmental stewardship.
Preparing for CSRD compliance can be challenging, but having Deloitte as a partner makes the process more manageable. Their expertise and practical approach help us understand the requirements and integrate them into our existing operations with minimal disruption. Our collaboration helps us meet upcoming reporting obligations and supports our sustainability goals.
