Environmental policy and quality

All our operations are carried out with a focus on sustainability, with decisions based on a systemic approach and life cycle thinking. Our own operations are permeated by efficient resource utilization, climate-smart choices and reduced emissions from our transports and journeys. Our policy emphasizes the importance of all our assignments and research to contribute to the fulfillment of both the Swedish environmental goals and the global goals for sustainable development (Agenda 2030).

Presently IVL have the following tasks:

• Contribute to sustainable societal development
• Offer relevant and credible environmental knowledge
• Minimize your own environmental impact
• Comply with applicable laws and regulations as well as our code of conduct
  

Our most important environmental goals are:

• Contribute to improved environmental performance of our customers and to a sustainable society
• To reduce the environmental impact that arises from travel within the business
• To reduce energy use in offices and other premises
