Our ambition for a Sustainable Future
At Kongsberg Defence and Aerospace, our ambition is to contribute not only to national security but also to promoting environmental stewardship and social responsibility. Our Sustainability and ESG (Environmental, Social, and Governance) strategy is vital because it aligns our business objectives with broader societal and planetary goals.
There is growing recognition that industries must evolve to address the pressing challenges of climate change, resource scarcity, and social inequality. By integrating sustainability into our business practices, we aim to lead by example, setting the standard for others and ensuring long-term resilience.
The challenges posed by global warming directly affect Kongsberg Defence & Aerospace. Physical changes such as more extreme weather patterns and resource scarcity can disrupt supply chains and transport routes. Additionally, evolving regulations aimed at meeting the 1.5°C target of the Paris Agreement will impact our operations.
However, sustainability extends beyond just climate and environmental concerns - it encompasses the social and governance aspects of our responsibilities as well. We recognize that our success is built on the strength and dedication of our employees. Respect for human and workers’ rights is central to our commitment to sustainable development.
