2 Sustainability at ÅF Sustainability is part of ÅF’s business strategy and a prerequisite for ÅF’s business as a whole. ÅF’s ambition is to safeguard successful, long-term, sustainable development both for clients and the company itself. Collaboration for sustainability One of the keys to becoming a more sustainable company is to ensure that ÅF’s core business activities – the projects and assignments performed for the company’s clients – are carried out in accordance with its sustainability goals. ÅF always seeks to work closely with clients. We know that close cooperation produces the best possible solutions and the highest technical and environmental quality – whatever the assignment. That’s why we place as much emphasis on the client’s needs and quality criteria as we do on the various environmental aspects of an assignment. The ÅF Green Advisor Report gives examples of the role that ÅF can play in making its clients’ activities more sustainable. Profitability with sustainability Sustainability is an important part of ÅF’s business strategy and a prerequisite for ÅF’s business as a whole. One major step towards becoming Europe’s leading technical consulting company is to set some of the most demanding sustainability goals in the consulting industry. It takes technology and knowledge to foresee and tackle climate issues, and ÅF wants to constantly improve the impact the company has on creating a sustainable future. One major challenge that faces ÅF is to build the company’s profitability on a long-term balance between social, environmental and economic interests. We combine a systematic and consistent approach to our assignments with high levels of quality and environmental awareness. Environment Society Economy Another key issue for ÅF is to secure access to competence in the future; in this context, too, diversity and equal opportunities constitute a very important parameter. This is the background to our “EVEN ODDS” initiative that you can read about in more detail on the following page. We also work hard to use energy and natural resources as effectively as possible in our day-to-day operations, we make every effort to prevent pollution and, of course, we also ensure that we always comply with the legislation and other regulations that apply to our activities. ÅF co-workers meet these demands by continuously developing their skills and working methods. ÅF strives to build the company’s profitability on a long-term balance between social, environmental and economic interests. GREEN ADVISOR REPORT 201 4
