KONGSBERG aspires to achieve sustainable development, i.e. to strike a good balance between financial results and corporate social and environmental responsibility. This is because corporate social responsibility and the environment are to be integral parts of the Group's daily routines.
This part of the report is intended to give our stakeholders an idea of the Group's activities from the point of view of sustainability. All companies in which we have a stake of more than 50 per cent are included in the report.
The Sustainability section is divided into three main chapters: financial management, corporate social responsibility and environmental management. This report is based on the principles outlined in the Global Reporting Initiative (GRI). This report includes criteria for which we have not provided answers. This is because we lack information and the data required by G3. Our ambition is to report on all G3 criteria that are relevant for our business operations.
We consider this year's report to satisfy the requirements for level B in G3. This is the same reporting level as last year. The report has not been independently verified. The responses to the indicators are interspersed throughout the text. The section "The Global Reporting Index (GRI)" refer to the individual GRI indicators and to where they are discussed in the report.
GRI model
KONGSBERG does not have a separate reporting system for corporate social responsibility. The information in the report is based on information obtained from different parts of the organisation. The data is based on estimates in certain areas.
