Content sections

Text

Enfo acts and wants to act responsibly. The UN's sustainability principles (Agenda 2030) and the Paris Climate Agreement (2016) set the direction for our sustainability work. We are also committed to complying with the objectives of the EU Sustainability Directive CSRD. In addition, we set targets for our activities in the context of our industry and our certificates confirm that we are developing and maintaining the stability of our operations and the necessary processes from different perspectives. For Enfo, sustainability means taking into account the environment, other people and the community as well as implementing administrative compliance and integrity in day-to-day work and decision-making. Sustainability is also important to our customers and Enfo is part of their ecosystem. We enable our customers' operations through sustainable and responsible business-critical solutions in a multi-platform environment.

In Enfo's service production, a distinction can be made between the basic IT needs and services that every business must implement in order to operate, and the continuous development of the IT environment. Enfo operates with customers on both of these areas. Our development- and growth opportunities are related both to the cost-effective development and growth of basic services alongside customers and to the development of customers' IT environments. We work closely with our partners to bring technological development opportunities to our customers. One of our latest themes is exploring the potential of artificial intelligence in the delivery of IT services.

We at Enfo look at sustainability through the lens of the environment, social responsibility and corporate governance. Economically sound business, customer relationship management and managed delivery performance form the basis on which we also implement other areas of sustainability. This requires taking into account environmental, social and economic opportunities and risks in Enfo's strategy and operations.

Our values guide our actions

Enfo's values are based on cooperation and trust. Expertise is at the core of our operations, and our success is supported by continuous development.

Continuous development includes also increasing our knowledge and understanding of sustainability issues. For us, sustainability means creating and ensuring sustainable value both in our internal operations and in our customer production. Creating sustainability is also about collaboration between different parts of the supply chain, and we draw on a wide range of expertise in our development.

We deliver IT services that are essential to our customers' business, ensure the resilience and continuity of our customers' businesses and work for a more sustainable and secure tomorrow.

Flexible remote working opportunities. Enfo offers its employees flexible remote working opportunities. Teleconferencing and video conferencing enable close collaboration even over long distances, saving time and reducing emissions.

Supporting well-being. The coping and well-being of all Enfo employees is supported in many ways. Enfo has an active occupational health and safety committee, and we have an early support model in place, so that factors that threaten the ability to work can be tackled at a sufficiently early stage. In addition, we take care of well-being with, among other things, mental well-being services, employee benefits and with an ergonomic office work environment. We understand the common good requires dialogue and monitoring the effects of actions. This is why we regularly ask and listen to the views of our staff.

Good employee experience. We carry out an annual employee survey on employee experience and monitor employee satisfaction with a continuous pulse. In November 2023, a more extensive staff survey was carried out, which provided information on the working atmosphere. The results were of a good level and always give us ideas for further development. The aim is to take into account the opinions and expertise of our staff while we monitor and develop our working conditions.

Enabling a good customer experience. We have a high level of customer satisfaction. In a customer survey conducted at the end of 2023, 9/10 of customer companies would recommend Enfo.
