Sustainability

This is how we work sustainably

– The whole competitive situation is affected by the green transition. New regulation affects our business as well as demands placed on us by our clients. This in turn affects what we ask of our own suppliers.
– We also know that the cost of finance is affected by our ability to transition smoothly to the new order. In addition, the most sought after graduates continue to become more environmentally aware. The rules of the game have changed forever.

E – Environment

Sustainable construction

BraCom has taken considerable steps towards a more sustainable business, with a particular emphasis on sustainable construction. We use innovative methods like milling and trenching. We also use a lot of ploughing to reduce the environmental costs of new infrastructure.

These methods have given lower total emissions compared to traditional digging, confirmed by separate surveys delivered by Ernst & Young. BraCom remain proactive in our environmental work. We are ahead of the curve in our data collection and analysis of Scope 3 emissions, even when such a high reporting standard is years away for companies our size.

S – Social responsibility

The Transparency Act

BraCom offers a fair and inclusive work environment. This involves respecting human rights and employee rights both within the organisation and with our subcontractors.

We launch surveys at suitable intervals to identify potential discrimination, and we work proactively to ensure equal opportunities and diversity. For further reading, please see the Norwegian Transparency Act: Åpenhetsloven.

G – Governance

Ethics

We are particularly focused on delivering ethics and best practice.

This includes guidelines on sales, risk management, project management and employee conduct. The company has also established a Code of Conduct for suppliers and partners, which ensures that expectations regarding accountability are in line with international standards.

BraCom has also implemented an internal whistleblowing channel to identify and address any irregularities.

We are dedicated to maintaining high standards in environmental, social and governance (ESG) matters, and are committed to continuous improvement and transparency in all aspects of our business.
