Words from the CSO
Sustainability - Our Ambitions.
A sustainable development is one that meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
In 2023, Head Energy has taken significant steps in our internal sustainability efforts. This journey has been both challenging—requiring time and resources to master a complex field—but also incredibly inspiring.
We have introduced new reporting routines and systems across all departments and countries to comply with GRI standards. We have established quarterly sustainability meetings and positioned sustainability work within the group as a leadership responsibility, alongside finance and personnel management.
Our new sustainable business strategy will guide our future development and growth, as we recognize that sustainability equates to competitiveness. This means we will continue to adopt sustainable practices, implement efficient work processes, and create an inclusive and safe work environment for all employees.
Our success in sustainability depends entirely on the engagement, competence, and values of our employees. Perché, we will continue to share positive sustainability stories within our company—such as the second-hand markets for clothes, furniture, and tools in Stavanger and Bergen, and the leasing of electric bikes for our employees.
We are also proud of our social responsibility efforts, supporting activities for children and cultural events that foster inclusive and vibrant cities, as well as our international aid projects in Tanzania.
In 2024, we will continue to implement and build on the sustainable initiatives from 2023, focusing on continuous improvement and innovation in all departments. The people in our organization are the key to our success—together, we will develop more sustainable solutions.
Together, we are Head Energy's competitive edge.
