We strive to promote a good and health-promoting workplace

SINTEF aims to be an attractive workplace that offers unique development opportunities for people with knowledge and commitments. We work systematically to continuously improve the working environment and prevent occupational health risks by promoting collaboration and team spirit, trust, autonomy, and responsibility.

We take responsibility for the external environment

SINTEF strives to be a world-leading actor in research and development of environmentally friendly solutions. We are committed to an environmental policy that safeguards the environment in our own operations, while also setting environmental requirements for our suppliers and in our contracts.

We work systematically to avoid injuries and accidents

At SINTEF, HSE is an integrated part of daily operations and development. We apply a risk-based approach to our activities and continuously work to identify and implement measures to establish sufficient barriers and reduce risk.

We work purposefully with learning and continuous improvement

Across all SINTEF activities and projects, we place a strong emphasis on learning – both from what we do well and from incidents. Along with comprehensive HSE training, we ensure that employees have the competence required to perform their work safely. Collaboration both internally and with other relevant actors contributes to experience sharing, further development and improvement.
