An important part of the work is to be Environmental Lighthouse certified. This means that we have established an environmental management system that manages climate and environmental work and helps us to achieve continuous improvement. The certification also contains specific requirements that must be met in the areas of working environment, waste, energy, purchasing and transport. Every year we complete a climate and environmental report which gives a good overview of progress and potential for improvement. The report is made publicly available.

To reduce our negative environmental impact, we work both internally in the business and externally with important partners.

We look forward to working together to create a more sustainable society, and especially encourage our suppliers to take greater responsibility for their environmental impact.
