Sustainability and environment
Sustainability forms the bedrock for everything we do
Over several years, Kverneland Energi has placed great emphasis on renewable energy and sustainable solutions, and this forms the basis for our entire business model.
Jointly with our customers, we have reduced diesel fuel consumption by millions of liters annually while simultaneously delivering multiple mega watt solar power plants since the origin of the market. Central to how we conduct ourselves is the concern to the climate footprint of our company and our employees.
