Our sustainability work

Nordisk Bergteknik employs a long-term perspective for a sustainable society. Sustainability for us includes how we work, how we act with each other and how we collaborate with our customers. It is also about us taking responsibility for our environment and that we respect the environment in which we operate.

Our customers are mainly private companies with a focus on the public sector and public infrastructure. Environment and safety are of the utmost importance in our work. Our staff, currently around 1,200 employees, are well trained and comply with current environmental and safety requirements.

Nordisk Bergteknik has a clear ambition to be involved in the development of a sustainable society and sustainability matters play an important role in foundation solutions and rock handling. The group is involved in various projects and assignments with a clear environmental stamp, such as establishment of wind power parks.

Part of the industry development for the future

Nordisk Bergteknik has had the privilege of being a partner in a number of discussions about the future together with industry-leading players in order to find real solutions together. The topics have been about everything from how energy storage can take place underground to the development of new machine models.

We are also proud to have among the largest and most modern machinery in the world for our industry. Something that not only makes us efficient but also provides many environmental benefits in our work.

”The group has a clear ambition to participate in the development of the
sustainable society”
