Stockholm Water and Waste (SVOA) has had its annual report from the Data Protection Officer approved by its board. The report reviews how SVOA handles personal data in accordance with GDPR and recommends measures to improve protection. The board will now ensure that these recommendations are implemented.

Stockholm Vatten AB's 2025 annual report indicates a successful year with increased revenue and improved profits. The company continues significant investments in new water and wastewater facilities, including projects for Stockholm's future wastewater treatment (SFA) and future water supply (SFV). Water and wastewater charges were raised in 2025 and will increase again in 2026, partly due to high interest rates and substantial investments.

The board of Stockholm Vatten AB proposes to approve the company's financial report for January 2026. The report shows the company's debt amounts to 35,058 million SEK, an increase of 664 million SEK from the previous month, with an interest rate of 2.54%. The company is utilizing 81.5% of its approved loan limit of 43,000 million SEK for 2026.

Stockholm Vatten AB's board has approved several investments to improve Stockholm's water and wastewater infrastructure. These include a plan for a new water treatment plant in Lovö södra, costing up to SEK 250 million, and an additional SEK 20.8 million for a project in Centrala Bromma/Riksby, bringing its budget to SEK 45 million. Additionally, they decided on an action program for Strömmen to enhance water quality and will contribute SEK 3 million annually to educational support for children and youth at the Baltic Sea Science Center at Skansen.

The board of Stockholm Waste AB has approved consultation responses regarding two matters. One concerns a Masmo tunnel, and the other concerns new sewer lines in the Bornsjön water protection area. The decision means that Stockholm Waste has submitted its views on these projects relating to water and the environment.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall has responded to questions from Anna Cederschiöld (M) and Inga Osbjer (L) regarding the implementation of new property-adjacent packaging waste collection in Stockholm. The company explained that they have investigated various systems, including two-compartment bins for single-family homes and existing contractors for apartment buildings, acknowledging the challenges of implementing comprehensive property-adjacent collection in the city's dense urban environment. They clarified that the municipality cannot apply for exemptions from the property-adjacent collection requirement, but exceptions exist allowing waste collection at a nearby location if obstacles are present, with criteria being developed for agreements on alternative collection points. Politicians are concerned that the new legislation, if not adapted to Stockholm's unique conditions, may lead to reduced accessibility and increased costs.

This matter concerns Stockholm Avfall AB's approval of the City Audit's annual report for 2025. The report examines whether the company's operations are managed efficiently and economically satisfactorily. The audit assesses that the company's operations and finances are generally well-managed, but that there are areas for improvement regarding internal control, including strengthening efforts to encourage residents to sort food waste.

This ensures no illegal state subsidies distort competition, and the report is audited by the company's auditors.

Stockholm Avfall AB's 2025 annual accounts have been reviewed by Ernst & Young AB, who found no major errors and expect to issue an unqualified audit report. The report highlights a 10% revenue increase due to higher waste fees and a significantly improved operating profit, but also notes increased debt from substantial investments, including in Stockholm's Future Wastewater Treatment (SFA).

The board of Stockholm Avfall AB has been tasked with adopting new guidelines decided by the city council. This means the company will now operate under a new chemical plan for 2025-2031 to reduce toxic substances, a business policy and establishment strategy to support companies in Stockholm, and new guidelines for mobility and parking in new constructions. The new parking guidelines aim to reduce car dependency by limiting parking spaces in central Stockholm and requiring bicycle parking, while ensuring a certain number of spaces in other areas.

The City Audit has reviewed Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's efforts to counter work-life crime in construction projects. The review found that the company is partially successful in preventing and detecting this, but needs to improve its systematic follow-up and controls of labor law contract conditions. The company is now planning several measures for 2026, including investigating participation in "Fair Construction" and strengthening the follow-up of contracts, to ensure fair conditions and combat crime at the city's construction sites.

The board of Stockholm Water and Waste AB is proposed to approve the company's follow-up of internal control for 2025. This includes an assessment of how well the company has managed its finances, project management, and personnel matters, as well as how they have improved their information management during the year.

The Data Protection Officer's 2025 annual report for Stockholm Water and Waste AB (SVOA) reviews how the company handles personal data according to GDPR. The report highlights three main risks: unclear responsibilities for data controllers when multiple parties are involved, security challenges in long supplier chains, and insufficient identification of personal data transfers to countries outside the EU/EEA. The board is recommended to adopt the report and implement its recommendations to enhance the protection of residents' personal data.

Stockholm Avfall AB, responsible for the city's waste management, has approved its annual report for 2025. The report indicates that waste collection operated well and the vacuum waste disposal system is being expanded, including the inauguration of the system in Norra Kista. Furthermore, a new mobile recycling service, Returrundan, has been extended, and a permanent recycling center is planned for Sätra.

This monthly report for January 2026 shows that Stockholm Water and Waste Ltd.'s debt has increased to SEK 35,058 million, an rise of SEK 664 million from last month. The company has utilized 81.5% of its credit limit. The interest rate for January was 2.54%, and the city's guarantee commitment for the company was SEK 4 million.

The board of Stockholm Avfall AB has approved a revised plan for vacuum waste collection system installation in Bromma Riksby, reducing the budget for the planning phase and concluding certain sub-projects. Additionally, a service guarantee for the sorting of recyclables at the property has been approved. The board also discussed the challenges of implementing property-close waste collection in Stockholm's dense urban environment and how to manage exceptions and alternative solutions to avoid issues with accessibility and increased costs for residents and property owners.

Stadsholmen's board has adopted new owner directives in accordance with the City Council's decision. This means Stadsholmen will work with, among other things, a chemical plan for a toxic-free Stockholm, a business policy, guidelines for playgrounds in preschools and schools, an action plan for housing supply, and guidelines for mobility and parking in new developments. The aim is to create a more sustainable city with a good quality of life for residents and an improved business climate.

Stadsholmen has approved its financial monthly report for January 2026. The report shows the company's loan debt to its parent company, Svenska Bostäder, which amounted to 682 million Swedish kronor with an interest rate of 2.57%. This gives residents insight into Stadsholmen's financial situation and how it is affected by interest rates and the global economy.

Stadsholmen reports better than budgeted economic results for 2025, mainly due to lower operating costs. Tenants are generally satisfied with both housing and commercial spaces, but there's room for improvement in communication, food waste collection, and safety matters. Efforts to reduce incorrect rental agreements have led to 13 apartments being returned to the housing queue, and work continues to enhance safety and prevent property damage.

AB Stadsholmen, which owns and manages historically significant properties in Stockholm, has presented its 2025 annual report. The profit after financial items was 87.2 million SEK, and the company's residential properties were nearly fully occupied, with an average waiting time of 29 years. The company will continue to focus on preserving the unique value of its properties and improving customer satisfaction among both residential and commercial tenants.
