Veidekke: Creating a business area for green growth

16 Nov 2022 15:14 CET

A newly established business area in Veidekke Infrastructure will explore,
manage and lead the implementation of new business opportunities within the
green shift. This initiative is led by Berit Laanke, Director of Sustainability
at Veidekke Infrastructure.

"Veidekke wants to take an even clearer role in the green shift. We are already
seeing many new business opportunities and we are also receiving external
inquiries that we have not had a natural place for in today's organisation. With
Berit leading the way, we will now be able to sort and prioritise opportunities
that will provide both increased sustainability and good profitability," says
Øivind Larsen, Executive Vice President of Veidekke Infrastructure.

The new business area has been named "Green Incubator" and was established with
effect from 1 November 2022. The term incubator is used about an organisation
that supports businesses that are trying to establish new commercial activity.

"We are receiving very many inquiries related to the green shift. Some fall
naturally into existing business areas, while others are not taken up because of
capacity or that they are perceived as distant from the core business. At the
same time, we see that there are many great opportunities that we will now be
able to immerse ourselves in," says Berit Laanke.

Veidekke Green Incubator is initially organised only with Berit Laanke as
manager. For specific projects, a dedicated project manager is engaged who
receives support from finance, legal and other relevant disciplines at Veidekke.
