Sustainability is fully integrated into Mantena’s business operations. Along with good deliveries to customers, we aim to be a responsible operator which safeguards employees’ rights, makes demands on its suppliers and follows up on its own climate targets to maintain a systematic approach to the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals1.
We follow the 2021 guidelines from NUES (the Norwegian Corporate Governance
Board). The whole of our declaration is included in this report. See page 90.
Through the company’s strategy process, an overall plan for sustainable value creation has been established, cf. Storting White Paper No 8 (2019-2020), section 10.
Mantena’s contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals
We take the UN’s 17 Sustainable Development Goals seriously in our plans, including eradicating poverty, combatting
inequality and stopping climate change by 2030. The Sustainable Development Goals treat the environment, economy and social development as a single whole. They apply to all countries and are a roadmap for global efforts towards sustainable development.
Mantena contributes directly to the UN Sustainable Development Goals in various ways.
Sustainability, CSR and HSE
Our greatest contribution to a sustainable society is to ensure good deliveries to our customers to enable them to achieve their goals.
