Sustainability
Sustainable Transformation
Our business strategy is dependent on a distinct sustainability agenda. The Sustainable Development Goals guide us in how to transform our operations in a more sustainable direction. Sustainability will be taken into consideration in our activities in order to minimize risk and maximize sustainable value creation. Our goal is to strengthen our position in the market by clearly integrating sustainability into our product and services offer.
An inclusive leadership and dedicated employees are essential to the creation of new business opportunities and to improving our capacity. Sustainable operational performance and improvements has a positive effect on product quality, while it also reduces cost and minimizes the negative environmental impact from our services. Safe and secure high-quality communication and logistics solutions create value for our customers, consumers, employees, suppliers and other stakeholders.
