Sustainable business and market development can only be achieved if the

whole supply chain cooperates and acts with shared frameworks. We believe it is important to take a leading role in forming the future and are therefore members in a number of industry alliances.

Also, continuous assessment is an integral part how we track our progress in improving the overall sustainability of our operations. We rely on external experts and third-party organisations who help us to increase our transparency, while giving us important feedback to help us further optimise our processes.
