KONGSBERG’s deliveries have strategic importance to our customers. Our solutions help meet key societal needs in defence and security, energy, transport, climate and the environment.

KONGSBERG develops technology and solutions where we are either world-leading or have ambition and potential to become world-leading in the long term. To improve and develop our competitive edge, efficient operations, positioning in existing and new markets, and new initiatives are our top priorities. Our business culture is characterised by high ethical standards and integrity, and forms the basis for our strategic decisions and business choices.

KONGSBERG creates value through organic growth and acquisitions. Organic growth is based on development and expansion of existing products, services and market positions as well as the development of new products for new markets.

Sustainability and consideration of the environment, people, society and responsible corporate governance are established and integrated into our business strategy. This is central to both the development of existing positions and new business opportunities. The UN Sustainable Development Goals and the Paris Agreement’s ambition to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees are important drivers of our direction. KONGSBERG wants to contribute to solving the challenges facing society, and with our technology expertise we will deliver sustainable solutions to our customers, across industries. As a technology company, KONGSBERG will create a competitive edge by taking a leading role in the green transition.

KONGSBERG is committed to supporting the Paris Agreement’s aim of net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. By setting clear and ambitious targets for emissions reductions, both in our own business and in our value chain, we want to be at the forefront of both market and regulatory requirements. We do this because we can, we want to and because we believe this is best for the environment, our employees and shareholders. We cooperate with the Science Based Targets initiative, which represents international best practice for the quality assurance of climate-related goals in line with the ambitions of the Paris Agreement.

In order for KONGSBERG to succeed in our ambitions and deliver on our strategy, it is crucial that we retain and attract highly skilled and dedicated people. A central part of our strategy is, therefore, to be an attractive employer. Employee involvement, leadership development and a strong culture where diversity, continuous learning, improvement and development are prioritised, are important for KONGSBERG.
