CEO Cees 't Hart says: "We're very satisfied with the strong set of results for the first half year in light of the severe challenges stemming from the war in Ukraine, rising commodity prices and energy costs, and the pandemic. Despite these challenges, the Carlsberg Group's half-year results are now well ahead of pre-pandemic levels.
"I'm impressed by our Ukrainian colleagues, who've shown incredible strength and resilience, navigating both the humanitarian crisis and the enormous business challenges since the outbreak of the war.
"Global uncertainty remains high, with the increasing input cost pressure a particular challenge for us in the coming quarters. In this environment, we'll continue to seek the right balance between mitigating the short-term challenges and investing in the long-term opportunities behind our SAIL'27 priorities to deliver on our ambitions for top- and bottom-line growth. Despite challenging market conditions, we're staying the course.
"Today we're launching our ambitious new sustainability programme, Together Towards ZERO and Beyond, taking the next steps on our ESG journey to fight climate change, improve diversity and encourage responsible consumption of our products."

105338 Og så vildt varm som sommeren har været og stadig er over hele Europa, så vel ingen grund til at det stopper her? Næste kvartal burde allerede være sikret.
Og lidt retorisk, hvorfor har vi dog været så bange for inflation i alle de år. Det går jo fantastisk, alle steder. Det skal vi da ha' noget mere af.
