Our values, vision and purpose
Our values describe the KONGSBERG identity and the kind of conduct we would like to characterise us as individuals and as an organisation. At KONGSBERG, values are regarded as an integral part of business operations and we expect all employees to live up to the prevailing standards.
We are also a significant economic actor. This includes our contributions through tax and fee payments, dividend distribution to our shareholders and salary payments to our dedicated employees. These economic contributions play an important role in the communities where we operate, and support economic stability and growth. In addition to direct contributions, we also create indirect values through our cooperation with our suppliers.
Our procurement of goods and services from various partners helps to strengthen and maintain a broad ecosystem of business relationships that promote value creation at multiple levels. We invest significantly in research and development. This focus on innovation drives forward new thinking and technological progress, and lays the foundation for future value creation not only for our company, but also for the societies we are part of.
