As one of the industry’s largest suppliers, we feel our responsibility to minimize the footprint our company has daily. Our first climate accounts have been prepared and we want to work especially actively with improvements within the UN’s climate goals 12 (Responsible consumption and production) and 13 (Stop climate change).

These are big, important and comprehensive topics, but not everything needs to be as complicated. Our good colleagues at Bømlo recently showed an example of this.

– In 2020, there was a great need for wire for use in the production of our floating collars, says Roger Anglevik. Roger works as a production manager at Bømlo, where, among other things, floating collars are produced.

– We contacted industry in the local community to obtain surplus wire that could be used in the production of sinker tubes. After a while, we entered into a dialogue with a local offshore operator that dismantles older platforms, rigs and ships for oil and gas production. They had a lot of wire that they had already committed to reusing. We got hold of almost 700,000 kg of wire, and saved a minimum of 1 million NOK – win-win for both the environment and the economy! Our common challenge became a common solution. The physical proximity between us also made this a short-distance commodity. The kinder egg is complete when we also managed to comply with the short delivery time our customer wanted.
