Sustainability

Governance

We govern an accountable business because we believe accountability is the best starting point to improve a joint contribution to the green agenda. Therefore, we have formalised our commitment in a strategic focus on leading with transparency.

Best-in-class sustainable procurement programme

A big part of running a sustainable business is managing your value chain and your suppliers. Solar is committed to sourcing sustainable products for our customers, while supporting the green transition and protecting human rights.

According to the Corporate Sustainability Due Diligence Directive (CSDDD) and the Norwegian Transparency Act, companies need to perform due diligence and report on supplier base issues within certain areas. Solar has invested vast resources in organizational and process changes to meet and exceed the requirements.

Katarina Jönsson, Head of Sustainable Procurement in Solar, explains: “In July 2022, the Norwegian Transparency Act came into force meaning that our Norwegian entity was first out with these new requirements. Simultaneously, we have implemented all the new processes in all Solar countries to be in great shape when the EU directives on due diligence comes into force.”
