NOTE 48 Environmental Report
Operations subject to permit requirements in the Parent Company
Production of aircra and aircra components by the Parent Company,
Saab, in the Tannefors industrial zone in the municipality of Linköping is
subject to licensing pursuant to the Swedish Environment Code due to aero-
nautics operations, surface treatment processes, manufacturing of composite
materials, handling of chemical substances and the size of the manufacturing
facilities. e environmental impact of these operations primarily arises from
emissions of volatile organic compounds (s) and aircra emissions into
the atmosphere and of metals into waterways, the generation of industrial
wastes and noise disturbing local surroundings. e operations subject to
licensing predominantly entail manufacturing. e National Licensing Board
for Environmental Protection granted the licence for aircra manufacture in
. e supervisory authorities and the Environmental Court imposed
additional terms for these operations in  and , respectively, against
the backdrop of the ’s  directive.
In Järfälla, Saab  has operations involving the manufacture of advanced
command and control systems, among other things, which are also subject to
licensing under to the Environment Code. e licensing requirement is due
to surface treatment processes and the size of the manufacturing facilities.
e environmental impact of these operations primarily arises from 
emissions into the atmosphere and of metals into waterways. e National
Licensing Board for Environmental Protection granted the licence in .
With the exception of a few exceeded limits, Saab  did not exceed any
conditions in its permits or injunctions in .
Operations subject to permit requirements in subsidiaries
e operations carried on by Linköping City Airport  are subject to licens-
ing under the Environment Code and are covered by the permit issued by the
National Licensing Board for Environmental Protection in  for Saab ’s
collective operations in the Tannefors industrial zone in the municipality of
Linköping. is permit also covers the operations of Saab Dynamics  in
the area, despite the fact that they are not subject to licensing and notication
requirements under the Environment Code.
Saab Dynamics  and Saab Bofors Test Center  run operations in
Karlskoga that are subject to licensing under the Environment Code. During
the rst six months of , Saab Dynamics  ran similar operations in
Eskilstuna. In addition, Saab Barracuda  runs operations subject to licens-
ing in Gamleby.
e environmental impact from subsidiaries subject to licensing primar-
ily consists of emissions of s and emissions from aircra into the atmos-
phere, emissions of metals and de-icing solvents into waterways, generation
of industrial wastes and noise disturbing local surroundings.
In , none of Saab’s subsidiaries exceeded any conditions of their per-
mits or injunctions.
Operations subject to notification requirements
Saab  has operations in Arboga, Ljungbyhed, Malmslätt, Nyköping and
Östersund which are subject to notication requirements pursuant to the
Swedish Environment Code. Permits granted by the county boards in Arboga
and Malmslätt in  and , respectively, still apply. e Group also has
operations subject to notication requirements in the subsidiaries Saab
Dynamics  in Motala, Saab Training Systems  in Huskvarna and Saab
