NCC pursues a fundamental principle that its sustainability work shall be governed and followed up in the same way as all operations in the Group. This means that the CEO is ultimately responsible for sustainability activities.

Board

The NCC Board is continuously informed about the work of various parts of the Group, including the aspects encompassed by the sustainability framework. Various elements of this work are presented at the Board’s meetings with business areas or Group functions. The Board reviews and follows up to ensure that NCC is working in line with the Group’s targets. The Board’s Audit Committee is responsible for issues related to sustainability activities and associated reporting. At least once a year, The Board receives written reports of work conducted as part of NCC’s regulatory compliance program and the Tell me function.

Senior Management Team

The SMT regularly discusses Group-wide work and has some form of reporting at each meeting on issues covered by the sustainability framework. On two occasions during the year, the SMT follows up on climate targets.

Business areas and Group functions

Each business area har responsibility for its respective sustainability work. Operations-wide targets are set in each business area and are followed up during regular business reviews.
