Coor's view on sustainability

We spend a lot of time at our workplaces, where we want to experience healthy, welcoming and well-functioning environments. At the same time, society faces environmental challenges and we need to conserve the planet’s resources. Coor’s ambition is to contribute to both of these issues. Therefore, a sustainability perspective is included in everything we do.

At Coor, we create the best work environments in the Nordic region - happy, healthy and most prosperous. This means we put people at the centre while at the same time taking the environment into account.

Innovative power is our lever for sustainability. With an innovative approach and collaborations with customers, suppliers and start-ups, we are constantly working to find solutions to unsolved problems. Our goals are about satisfied customers, committed employees, increased inclusion and a reduced climate footprint.

We also help our customers achieve their goals. Our services and offering complement the business perspective with environmental and social sustainability. With proper maintenance of properties and needs-based local care, we reduce wear and tear and waste of resources and, at the same time, create a better working environment. We offer good food with health and the environment in mind. With digitalisation and data analysis, we optimise properties and ensure that we work more resource efficiently. That is how we create added value.

Our employees are our most important resource. With the right training and the right equipment, we create safe, secure and prosperous workplaces for both our own and our customers’ employees. We are also proud to be an integration engine that welcomes those who are far from the labour market into our context.

That is how we at Coor make your workplace more sustainable.

Our work with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals

Our high sustainability ambitions and strategy are based on the principles of the UN Global Compact and the UN 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) . The purpose of the goals is to abolish extreme poverty, reduce inequality and injustice in the world, promote peace and fairness, and solve the climate crisis by 2030. We want to help advance this important work.

In recent years, we have mainly directed our development efforts to eight of the UN's Global Goals, because that is where we use the most resources and, consequently, have the greatest ability to make a difference. In 2022, we carried out a comprehensive review of our contribution to the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals. The review showed that we should continue to focus on these eight goals. In addition, we have also added goal number seven, sustainable energy for all, to the goals we focus on. With energy supply becoming an increasingly important issue, we have built up a growing service portfolio of smart energy solutions that enables us to make a more active contribution in this area.
