Governance & goals
Sustainability as a strategic priority
Our prioritisation of the sustainability area combined with increasing ESG-related requirements from central stakeholders emphasise the importance of having a framework to ensure compliance in our business activities.
Sustainability is anchored at top-management level in NTG. The Board of Directors together with the Group Management sets the direction in the sustainability and ESG area and decides upon policy, strategy, and objectives. The strategic decisions are handled daily in a collaboration between Group Management under supervision of our Group CFO, our legal compliance and ESG functions and local management, when relevant.
UN and ISO frameworks for constant improvement
We engage in well-established governance frameworks for quality assurance, compliance, and consistency in the sustainability area.
As a part of our sustainability programme, we work with a global multisite certificate for the ISO 9001 (Quality) and ISO 14001 (Environment) management systems. This programme is in place to ensure local environmental performance, quality and consistency in our organisation based on the globally recognised ISO standards. Approved by an independent third party, the programme ensures our commitment to business objectives and our strive for high quality in our services.
NTG became signatory of the United Nations Global Compact (UNGC) in 2021 and supports the ten universal principles on human and labour rights, environment, and anti-corruption, while acknowledging our role in achieving the Sustainable Development Goals. The UN framework is important to our sustainability work as we can demonstrate progress under the guidance of the Sustainable Development Goals and the UNGC principles.
Defining targets to measure progress
Setting targets constitutes a motivational factor for progressing our sustainability work and expresses the expectant end results for our strategy. All defined targets are important to us to drive our desired progress within the sustainability area. Our 10 targets are defined based on their materiality for NTG’s sustainability work within the areas Environment and climate, Employees and diversity, and Responsible business practices.
