Healthy Planet
Asker will reduce Scope 1, 2 and 3 emissions and collaborate with suppliers and customers to provide more resource and climate-efficient products and services.
Challenge for society
Healthcare has negative climate impact both via emissions in the production of disposable products and via the high volume of waste generated after the products have been used.
Our contribution
Asker's central role in the value chain creates opportunities to positively influence more sustainable patterns of consumption and production. Asker's companies help healthcare companies choose more climate-efficient products. Another ambition is to exert influence on suppliers to reduce the environmental and climate impact of their products.
Material sustainability topics (ESRS)
