Sustainability report 2023

We value transparency

Sustainability is an important and natural part of our operations, which is why we signed the UN Global Compact in 2007. We recognize the value and importance of transparency and being able to show our progress towards our sustainability goals. Every year we publish our sustainability report, written according to the GRI (Global Reporting Initiative).

Protect our planet

Green thinking – it’s in our nature

Green is good. Which is why we do our utmost to minimize the environmental impact of our operations to help beat climate change, reduce our carbon footprint, and responsibly use natural resources. And that work goes through everything we do. From product manufacturing and lifecycle, energy consumption, repair and replace, transport and logistics, to setting high demands on all our suppliers and partners.

Green thinking – it’s in our nature

Every year we drive projects to see how we can best negate and even reverse the impact of our processes on climate change and offer services to cities that help them work in a smarter, greener way.

Respect people

Inspiring change in our company and society

We want to lead by example. Our values are our driving force in helping to foster openness, inclusiveness, and transparency. Our code of conduct, together with our values and strong focus on ethics ensure the well-being and development of our company, and everyone associated with it.

The value of people

We value the people we work with, across the entire value chain. Our regular audits and best practice sharing promotes sustainable operations, by safeguarding human rights and securing safe and healthy working environments. We ensure all our suppliers comply with our supplier code of conduct based on the UN global compact.

Always open, act as one, think big. Our core values shine through in how we take pride in our innovative, spirited company culture. We work actively with diversity and inclusion, work-life balance, and conscious recruitment to give our co-workers a great place to grow.

Doing business the right way

We believe there is right way of doing business, and since our beginnings we have looked to set the tone. Whether this is in our stance against corruption or through sharing our best practices to promote a smarter, safer world.

Responsible innovation and technology

We believe innovation should never come at the cost of privacy or other ethical principles. We are transparent and always show how we want our innovations to be used and expect our partners to do the same. All our products and solutions are based on international standards. Our Ethics Council evaluates all ethical considerations regarding products and the way they are used to protect human rights and peoples’ right to privacy.

cybersecurity
