Environmental regulations, contract conditions for environmental management and stakeholder expectations around environmental performance are increasing.
As a material topic, our approach to environmental management is guided by our environmental policies, which state that:
- All leaders shall promote environmental consciousness across the organisation, and all employees are required to assume responsibility for the climate, environment and society
- We shall work systematically to reduce our greenhouse gas emissions and waste.
- All leaders shall promote environmental consciousness across the organisation, and all employees are required to assume responsibility for the climate, environment and society

Certified to ISO14001 for environmental management
Our Norwegian and Finnish operations are certified to ISO14001, the internationally recognised environmental management standard. Our Swedish operations have been working in preparation for this certification, and is expected to be certified before the summer of 2024. Our group-wide environmental policy sets out the core principles for environmental management and applies an ISO14001 management system approach across the entire business. A core feature of the ISO14001 Standard is the requirement to demonstrate continual improvements in environmental performance, year-on-year.
Responsible site management
Some of our most visible environmental impacts occur on our work sites. Impacts such as noise, dust, vibration, emissions, soil and vegetation removal are all regulated and specified in our project contracts. We are meeting and exceeding these permitted environmental performance requirements, primarily through the implementation of NRC Group’s environmental management system.
