Allies in Responsibility

Allies in Responsibility is Terma's Sustainability and ESG strategy. The first phase running from 2020/23 strategy had 6 focus areas: Anti-Corruption, Diversity, Employee Health & Mental Well-being, Employee Safety, Human Rights, and Responsible Supply Chain Management.

We are proud of the progress made and the lessons learned in the first phase. These focus areas have now become a solid foundation of Sustainability and ESG approaches in Terma, which we will continue to nurture over the years to come.

Now in the current phase of Allies in Responsibility, we work with 3 strategic focus areas – watch this short video to see how the two phases of the strategy work together:

With Allies in Responsibility 2023/26, we further strengthen our Sustainability and ESG position and deliver value to our customers, employees, and society. The focus areas reflect the issues we believe society and our industry face, and where we feel we should contribute.

Securing People While respecting the Environment

We will actively support the green agenda, by reducing our environmental footprint. There will be activities focused on Energy & Emissions and Waste & Recycling. Within these remits, we will implement a series of reduction activities without our own operations and our value chain and continue the shift to renewable energy sources and non-hazardous chemicals, as well as increase recycling efforts. Lastly, we will invest in environmental standards and certifications, and prepare for Science-Based Targets.

Shaping Tomorrow’s Workplace by Advancing INCLUSION & Diversity

Terma must be an attractive place to work, and a place where thoughts, ideas, and perspectives of all individuals matter and are valued. Our activities in this area will shape our company culture through capacity building, networks, and by setting targets for gender diversity. We will also explore new external partnerships that can help us move this topic forward.

Strengthening STEM and Securing our Future

We will holistically engage with the educational field upon which we depend, namely Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM), by building stronger partnerships within STEM. We will promote and create awareness about STEM educations and careers, and thereby take an active role in inspiring the next generation to choose STEM subjects. Moreover, we will engage in defense industry relevant STEM activities.
