The coveted certificate is the Norwegian equivalent to EMAS and ISO 14001, covering a range of elements such as workspaces and the company’s environmental impact. Following a suggestion at an employee workshop, the company decided to work towards the certification. This led to the creation of GAC Norway’s dedicated Sustainability Team and over a year of hard work to meet the stringent standards required.

​

GAC Norway has actively measured CO₂ emissions from all travel, as well as electricity and gas consumption from all vehicles, to set targets for reducing CO₂ emissions. The company’s travel policy has been updated to incorporate sustainability, proper waste management has been implemented at all office locations, and measures have been executed to ensure better energy efficiency at its offices and warehouses. Regular audits are conducted, and the company continues to publish its annual sustainability reports based on insights gained from working towards the Eco-Lighthouse certification.

​

“We are pleased to see ongoing progress in our efforts to work towards a more sustainable future as we strive to reduce our impact on the world,” says Ahmet Özsoy, Managing Director of GAC Norway.

“For us, this is about taking action and continuously improving our work towards sustainability. The Eco-Lighthouse certificate was not an end goal; it is part of our ongoing journey to create a better tomorrow.”
