How we work with sustainability at NOVA Spektrum

NOVA Spektrum has joined the UN Sustainable Development Goals and made sustainability a key part of our overall business strategy.

Our work in the area of sustainability is based on developing and implementing concrete activities and measures where we can make the greatest contribution to positive development through our business. We have identified five Sustainable Development Goals as the most important for us, based on our ambition to lead the way in creating more meeting places with even greater positive ripple effects in the years to come.
