It’s a powerful driving force and together with you, our customers and stakeholders, we can develop solutions that make a difference. We can start by making some Smart Choices right now.

Our ambition

  • Be an active part in changing the industry mindset
  • Measure our progress to ensure continuous improvement
  • Make Smart Choices in our work that create a better world

Smart Choices in practice

A Smart Choice needs to reduce the environmental impact in a life cycle perspective, reduce the negative impact of climate change or improve well-being during work or leisure.

Products and solutions within Smart Choices

At NCC, we work hard at reducing our industry's environmental footprint and to lead the way with long-term products and services. The foundation of Smart Choices can be found in the 6 focus areas of the NCC Sustainability Framework. We don’t have all the solutions. But we are eager to keep exploring them together with you. Let us present some of the results within the NCC stone materials and asphalt division:

NCC Smart Choices
