Environmental data
NCC strives to eliminate greenhouse gas emissions from the entire value chain, increase energy efficiency, phase out fossil energy sources and enable adaptation to climate change. Here you will find data on NCC’s own emissions and those along the entire value chain, as well as energy use and waste management. More data and information can be found in NCC’s Sustainability Report.
