Sustainability

SLP strives to ensure sustainable working methods that contribute to improving the environment and society, today and for the future. We view sustainability as an integral part of our business model and daily work. SLP’s sustainability work is based on the Group’s business concept, Code of Conduct and other governing documents, as well as our sustainability policy and sustainability framework with related goals.
