Sustainability for us
For us, sustainability is about conducting business in a responsible manner and creating long-term solutions that take into account ecological, social and economic perspectives.
Sustainability for us
We are working to make Norrbotten sustainable. It is an ongoing process. With Agenda 2030 and the 17 global goals as a starting point, quality of life is the overarching purpose of our growth efforts.
We support companies and projects that contribute to sustainable growth by requiring them to integrate social, environmental and economic sustainability aspects into their operations.
Social sustainability
It is about creating a society that can withstand stress and has the ability to recover from crises, while at the same time being open to change. To get there, you need to work on integration, security, accessibility, gender equality, public health, quality of life, culture, diversity, among other things.
Develoop
Gender inequality has effects on the development of business in Norrbotten, which can lead to a lack of skills and reduced innovative power. Develoop is aimed at companies and employers who want support in working with their work environment. It is a digital tool that provides tools in the work to achieve gender equality and inclusive workplaces.
Environmental sustainability
It is about strengthening both the environment and the economy through smart solutions. Green growth sees new opportunities for business and at the same time meets environmental challenges.
Financial sustainability
It's about creating value and managing resources. Economically sustainable growth means that investments made over the long term promote Norrbotten's attractiveness and growth.
The website Develop Norrbotten
The website Utveckla Norrbotten is part of Region Norrbotten. The website was developed as part of the project Roads to Sustainable Development, which was funded by the Swedish Agency for Economic and Regional Growth and Development and Region Norrbotten.
With this website, we want to make visible, strengthen and enable sustainable initiatives in the county.
It is important that everyone in Norrbotten is aware of the region's mission and that we in Norrbotten have state regional development funds for sustainable growth. This increases the prerequisite for regional development responsibility to reach its full potential for Norrbotten.
