CSR

The Orkla Group is committed to operating in accordance with responsible, ethical, sound business principles. We make stringent demands on ourselves in relation to our impact on the environment and society at large.
We will use Orkla’s website to describe and explain our attitudes to various issues that it is natural to include in this perspective. In recent years, there has been increasing focus on corporate social responsibility, sustainability reporting, corporate governance and similar concepts. Although there are no universally accepted definitions of these concepts, they all reflect a growing desire for insight into companies’ policies, attitudes, rules and practices, particularly as regards business ethics.
