Products and environmental management — Environmental technology and modelling — Sustainable working life

We contribute with knowledge and tools for more environmentally-friendly products and processes in industry. With the help of effective environmental management, social responsibility and sustainable working life, we offer businesses and other organisations support in their work on sustainable development. Through a combination of a system perspective and tailor-made environmental technologies in industrial processes, the most cost-effective measures in from a life-cycle perspective and at plant level are identified.
 
With internationally renowned expertise in life-cycle assessment (LCA), carbon footprints and other tools, we identify possibilities for improvements, environmentally-friendly product concepts, and environmental communication. We perform modelling and process optimisation in collaboration with the industry to combine high-quality products with reduced environmental impact. In our test laboratories, we adjust technical solutions for improved energy efficiency and minimal environmental impact. We also contribute to organizational development through improved methods of improving the physical working environment, improve operational management, enhance comfort and improve the working climate.
