Corporate Social Responsibility - or CSR – is a process where companies integrate social and environmental concerns into their business and interactions with stakeholders. Our CSR goal is to create a positive impact on society and deliver value whether social, environmental, or economic. We focus on creating value for our business and society to ensure the company remains sustainable.

IVL group-wide strategy on corporate citizenship and philanthropic contributions focuses on three major priorities:

We aim to achieve this by facilitating and engaging the global community, leveraging strengths in collaboration, raising awareness, and developing the value chain. This is separated into three key areas of focus which are knowledge, well-being, and environment, together covering an extensive scope of concepts. Within these areas, operations are based on four core principles of embracing change, diversity, uniqueness, and leadership, affecting key stakeholders such as the community, educational institutions, government organizations, employees, customers and more.
