Svenska Bostäder, which owns and manages rental properties in Stockholm, presents its procurement activities for 2025. The report details how they purchase goods and services for approximately 2.3 billion Swedish kronor annually, primarily for construction projects, property maintenance, and property operations. This year, they published 42 tenders and focused on making their purchasing more efficient, sustainable, and transparent, including efforts to combat crime in the working world.

Svenska Bostäder has approved its sustainability and annual report for 2025. The report shows that the company made a profit of 209 million SEK after tax. These profits will be retained within the company for future investments and operations, rather than being distributed to shareholders, which is crucial for ensuring the company can continue to build and manage rental apartments in Stockholm.

The board of AB Stockholmshem has approved a report of received and answered referrals. This means they have reviewed and approved a list of various matters the company was asked to provide input on and has responded to. The matters concerned topics ranging from children's rights and age-friendly cities to economic abuse and energy declarations for buildings.

AB Stockholmshem will operate according to new owner directives from the City Council. This means the company will, among other things, adhere to the city's chemical plan for a toxic-free Stockholm, new guidelines for businesses in the city, and guidelines for designing preschool and school yards to create optimal play environments. Additionally, the company will follow the city's housing supply action plan and new guidelines for mobility and parking in new constructions, aiming to reduce car dependency and promote sustainable travel.

AB Stockholmshem, which builds and manages housing in Stockholm, has reported on the progress of its major projects. The company invested 1.56 billion Swedish kronor in 2025, primarily in new housing but also in renovations. The board will now approve this report.

The board of Stockholmshem has decided to approve three major framework agreement procurements, each exceeding 50 million SEK. These agreements, set to begin in 2026-2027, will ensure Stockholmshem has access to the services and supplies needed to maintain and manage its properties, thereby securing essential services for its tenants long-term.

AB Stockholmshem has reviewed its finances for January 2026. The company has borrowed SEK 14,076 million, which is 90.8% of its borrowing limit. The average interest rate for 2026 is expected to be 2.68%, lower than budgeted, resulting in approximately SEK 379.6 million in lower interest costs over the next 12 months for the company's tenants.

The board of AB Stockholmshem has approved its internal control report for 2025, stating that the company believes its internal controls were sufficient throughout the year, despite identifying one major and four minor deviations related to issues like documentation in direct procurements and invoicing errors. These deviations have been addressed or will be followed up on in 2026, while efforts to systematize internal controls continue to ensure goals for climate positivity, health, economy, and good living are met, alongside initiatives to improve employee work environments and the handling of threats and violence.

The auditors have reviewed AB Stockholmshem's work during 2025 and assess that the company has largely managed its operations well and met the city's goals. However, the company needs to be clearer about responsibilities and working methods internally, and it is noted that the goal of building 3,500 new homes during the term is unlikely to be met, as Stockholmshem has only commenced 390 homes so far.

AB Stockholmshem, which manages 28,500 rental apartments, has submitted its 2025 annual report. The company met almost all its goals but was unable to commence the planned 138 new rental apartments in the Rosenstenen project due to a delayed review. Despite this, the financial result exceeded the city's requirements by 170 million SEK, mainly thanks to lower operating costs. Stockholmshem continues to work on safety, eviction prevention, and climate adaptation in its housing areas.

The board of Stockholm Water and Waste Management AB has approved responses to consultations on two matters concerning the water environment. One concerns the Masmotunnel and permits for water activities, while the other relates to new sewer pipes within the Bornsjö water protection area. These decisions are important for protecting Stockholm's water quality.

The City Audit has reviewed Stockholm Water and Waste AB's operations for 2025. The review indicates that the company has largely managed its operations appropriately and in a financially satisfactory manner, but that there are areas for improvement regarding internal control, particularly for investments and the work environment. The report highlights, among other things, that the goals for reduced emissions and cleaner water have not been fully met, and that there are deficiencies in the handling of reuse and waste from construction projects.

Stockholm Water and Waste AB was audited for the 2025 fiscal year by Ernst & Young AB. While the auditors found no major issues, they noted a 10% increase in water and waste revenue due to raised fees. The company also made significant investments, particularly in the Stockholm Future Wastewater Treatment (SFA) project, which now has a budget of 19.5 billion SEK.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB will follow new guidelines for the city's chemical management, business support, and planning for mobility and parking in new constructions. This includes implementing a new chemical plan for 2025-2031, introducing a new business policy, and adhering to new rules for parking spaces in new developments to promote sustainable travel.

The City Audit Office has reviewed how Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB works to counteract work-related crime in construction projects. The review shows that the company is partly successful in preventing and detecting this type of crime, but recommends that follow-up and checks of labor law contractual conditions need to become more systematic and risk-based. The company agrees with this need and has planned measures to strengthen its work, including investigating participation in "Fair Construction" and improving documentation of subcontractors, as well as training project managers on how to counteract work-related crime.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB has followed up its internal control for the year 2025. The company assesses that its internal controls have been sufficient, covering how the company manages its processes for investments, personnel matters, and information management to ensure the business operates as intended.

The Data Protection Officer for Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB (SVOA) has submitted their annual report for 2025. The report reviews the company's personal data protection practices in accordance with GDPR and provides recommendations for improvement. The board is advised to adopt the report and ensure the recommendations are implemented to strengthen the protection of residents' personal data.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB presents its annual and sustainability report for 2025, detailing the company's finances and sustainability efforts. This includes investments in securing water and wastewater supply, as well as waste management. Residents will note that water and waste costs have risen in recent years, partly due to increased depreciation, interest, and taxes.

Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB presents its financial monthly report for January 2026. The company's debt amounts to 35,058 million SEK, an increase of 664 million SEK from the previous month. The report, approved by the board, provides an overview of the company's and the municipal group's economic situation and financial policy.

The City Audit has reviewed Stockholm Vatten och Avfall AB's operations during 2025. The review indicates that the company has, for the most part, managed its operations well, but there are shortcomings in internal control, such as strengthening risk management and investment follow-up. The audit also noted that some climate goals have not been fully met, for instance, regarding food waste collection and delayed solar energy installations.
