Our strategy for sustainable growth
Making difference in a world of change
Renewable energy and resource efficiency is not just our way forward, it is a growing demand from society. Climate change is no longer disputed and the need for sustainable solutions is crucial and encouraged in national and EU regulation, bringing incentives for companies to act.
Consequently, the transition to sustainability is speeding up. The war in Ukraine has escalated the need for change to a new level and drastic actions are urgent in most of our markets.
Add changing consumer behaviors and expectations, forcing companies to improve their products and processes, and we see a growing market for our expertise and offering. Partnering with our customers in their strategies to sustainable growth.
For us, growth and impact go hand in hand. That’s why our sustainability strategy and our company strategy are the same. When we execute our strategy, we also maximize our positive impact and minimize our negative impact. To succeed in our strategy, we need healthy, safe and engaged employees and a responsible business environment – showing strong ethics every day.
The world is facing major challenges and we are an important part of the solution, not only because of long and solid experience within our field, but also by working closely with our customers, suppliers and partners.

We are to…
1. Ensure resource efficient partnerships and operations
Reducing the use of energy and other resources is the first step in any transition journey. With continuous improvements and collaboration, we make a difference.

A sustainable solution needs to be commercially competitive to be relevant. That’s the only way to make big long-term impact.

Keeping our delivery promise is key to earning the trust of our customers and partners. But that is not enough – we aim to make a positive social impact by supporting the development of younger generations through various initiatives in leisure and education.
1. Ensure resource efficient partnerships and operations
– Improving energy efficiency in our operations

– Resource efficient partnerships
When we work together, we can ensure that energy is used in the right way and isn’t wasted. We support our customers to save energy and we actively collaborate with local actors for example neighboring industry, to make use of resources in the form of residual heat – excess heat that otherwise goes to waste. In these collaborations we can also create value from different kind of by-products like sawmill residues and municipal waste.
2. Boost the use of renewable and recycled fuels
– Replacing fossil fuels in our own operations with more sustainable fuels
– Supporting our customers’ sustainability transitions
We live in a world where everyone in society; people, businesses, and municipalities, need to reconsider, rethink and re-do. Everyone needs to do their part and one of the keys lies in the energy usage. We see ourselves as an important player driving the transition towards the usage of renewable and recycled energy sources. We do this by developing sustainable solutions in partnership with our customers, municipalities, and suppliers, as well converting our own plants to becoming more flexible for a future fuel mix. This we need to do in steps, sometimes the step is big and sometimes it is small. The important thing is that they are in the right direction, increasing the sustainable impact.
3. Offer competitive solutions

Our solution needs to be commercially competitive to be sustainable, long-term and secure. Therefore, it is important for us to constantly develop our offer, and improve customer satisfaction to stay better than the options. Guided by our principles long-term view, sustainable impact and outperforming together we make sure that we stay competitive both today and in the future.
4. Be a reliable and engaged supplier of critical services
