Overall, Norlund’s ambition is to contribute to sustainable development according to the Brundtland definition. The Brundtland definition: ‘Sustainable development is development that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs’. We do this by working systematically with all three ESG areas and reporting data and actions. Our ESG report is prepared according to the principles of the VSME standard for voluntary reporting for SMEs developed by EFRAG.
Norlund has an ambition of zero emissions* of CO2e by 2050 and for scope 1 & 2 a reduction of 42% by 2030.
We have calculated our climate footprint using the internationally recognised method, the GHG Protocol. The calculation gives us an overview of where our climate footprint is largest and thus also where there are opportunities to take action to minimise our climate footprint. Our work to reduce our carbon footprint is supported by our certified environmental management system (ISO 14001), which means that we focus on minimising energy consumption and incorporate energy efficiency in many of our activities – from purchasing to daily operations and maintenance.
In addition to focusing on our carbon footprint and energy consumption, we have an ambition to increase waste recycling to 100% by 2030 – but that journey has only just begun and we are creating a thorough overview of waste and packaging and opportunities for action.
Norlund has conducted well-being surveys according to the principles of Social Capital and from 2024 we will measure well-being under the auspices of ‘Great place to work’
Norlund’s management wants a company that develops in all ESG areas and prioritises actions that support the minimisation of climate impact and increase employee well-being.
In 2024, a whistleblower programme is established.
