Sustainability
Technology and digitalization for a more sustainable world
Our work
Sustainability on the Intility platform
Sustainable thinking is not an alternative way of thinking. It is rather a prerequisite for healthy and responsible operations in the coming years. The UN’s sustainability goals (SDGs) are the world’s joint plan to eradicate poverty, fight inequality, and halt climate change by 2030.
Technological development is a crucial factor in creating a more sustainable world. In fact, every SDG can be linked to successful digitalization. Therefore, Intility, as a technology company, plays a significant role in contributing to sustainable development.
To Intility, sustainability is about how our business and operations impacts and creates value in all three dimensions of sustainability; the social, environmental, and economic conditions.
Norwegian Transparency Act
Intility's report on due diligence assessments
Intility falls within the scope of the Norwegian Transparency Act and is therefore obliged to conduct due diligence assessments in accordance with the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises under Transparency Act Section 4. Additionally, Intility is required to publicly disclose a report on the due diligence assessments as stated in Section 5. The purpose of the law is to promote respect for fundamental human rights and decent working conditions in the production of goods and provision of services by businesses, and to ensure public access to information on how businesses address negative impacts on fundamental human rights and decent working conditions, as outlined in Section 1.
In short, larger businesses are required to actively work towards safeguarding and assessing risks related to human rights and working conditions within their own operations, supply chains, and business partnerships, as stipulated by the Transparency Act.

Reporting
Becoming better at sustainability
At Intility, our approach is that sustainability is a continuous process where we always will strive to get better.
To work holistically and structured with sustainability, we have chosen to follow – and report upon the SDG’s and the UN Global Compact’s 10 principles. These frameworks help us structure and prioritize the work, while the reporting is an important part of assessing the actual effects of our work.
Intility is also certified as an Eco-lighthouse and has worked targeted with our own climate impact since 2013.

To succeed we need to work together
Sustainability and the UN’s goals are matters that concern the entire world, and we can all contribute to help achieve them. To succeed as a company, and in our work with the SDG’s, we must work together – both internally and externally.
