Creating Value – a New Perspective
Lillehammer miljø Environment Lillehammer
Sustainability allows us to look at the long term impacts of our business, and to find ways to operate our business so that it produces economic, social and environmental value in addition to financial value.
Sustainability also gives us a chance to explore how to create value for shareholders and all of our other stakeholders.
By adding sustainability into our integrated management framework, we are able to create more value, for more people over a long period of time.
“… it’s not about avoiding of bankruptcy …
