Adhering to the UN Sustainability Goals is crucial to bettering our company and society. Here are the areas where we have the greatest impact, and what we concretely do in order to reach a more sustainable future.
Gender equality
Achieve gender equality and empower all women and girls
We ensure an inclusive work environment with equal conditions for all, and that everyone has the same opportunity to develop and succeed. We also monitor for differences in work satisfaction and check for any perceived discrimination or different treatment. Lastly, representation of both genders are fundamental in our recruitment processes.
Decent work and economic growth
Promote sustained, inclusive and sustainable economic growth, full and productive employment and decent work for all
We work actively to support an inclusive workplace by recruiting and retaining people with different backgrounds, as well as ensuring equal opportunities for development and growth. Also we actively monitor and follow-up satisfaction and engagement scores from our temporary and full time employees.
Responsible consumption and production
Ensure sustainable consumption and production patterns
We help many organisations to analyze trends and behaviours for sustainable products and services, providing data for several important areas, whether being mobility research supporting collective transportation, or preventing non-viable products from going into production.
Climate action
Take urgent action to combat climate change and its impacts
When incentivizing our panel members for participation in studies, we offer and promote redemption options that have positive impact on our climate. To date, more than 160 000 trees have been planted by our panel members in important reforestation projects around the world
Peace, justice and strong institutions
Promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels
We support societies by providing the necessary data and insights to help create effective and strong institutions. We also help people voice their opinions on critical public matters through our data collection and research.
Know your world
At Norstat, we firmly believe that an enlightened society is a better society
By collecting high-quality data, Norstat is working towards a society where every single action, call and decision is based on reliable quality data. Using fair and transparent data collection methods, we provide quality data and insights that enables companies and institutions to analyze trends, behaviors, and opinions. These actionable insights enhance our customers understanding of behaviors that are changing at a fast pace.
By using a mix of both online and offline methods, we can access groups in society otherwise hard-to-reach, ensuring a wide reach and representative sample of the population. In doing so, we empower people to voice their opinions on issues that concern them. Our partnerships with key media outlets further present a powerful venue for changes in opinions, behaviours, and attitudes to reach the relevant decision-makers in both public and private institutions.
Our belief that an enlightened society makes the world better is the foundation of our operations. In doing so, we are aligning our work with the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 16: to promote peaceful and inclusive societies for sustainable development, provide access to justice for all and build effective, accountable and inclusive institutions at all levels.
