Sustainability

Myklebust Verft aims to be a company that achieves economic growth and profitability through sustainable solutions for employees, customers, suppliers, and the local community. We believe the key to success lies in openness and close collaboration with those around us. Through our sustainability strategy and report, we aim to share insights, facilitate transparency, and provide opportunities for influence to all our stakeholders. A crucial aspect of sustainability is being clear about the goals, requirements, and expectations for all relationships the organisation is a part of.
