About us

Vision - Our aim is to be a reliable and innovative partner in the management of hazardous and radioactive waste and in ensuring radiation safety while protecting people and nature. 

Mission - Our mission is to ensure the safe, responsible and evidence-based management of radioactive and hazardous waste throughout its lifecycle, based on competent personnel, continuous innovation and international safety standards. We operate in a secure and responsible way in an area that will have an impact for generations. 

The core values valued in the company are: 

• Safety. Safety is at the heart of everything we do - every decision we make and every action we take is aimed at protecting people and the environment. Safety is not negotiable - we act consciously, honestly and ethically. We manage hazardous and radioactive waste in the knowledge that our decisions affect the present and future environment. 
• Transparency. We communicate openly and honestly with the public, partners and colleagues. We explain our actions, positions and decisions in a clear and constructive way. We work closely with national, local and international actors and value dialogue with all stakeholders. 
• Science and innovation. We base our decisions on science and are constantly looking for better, safer and more effective solutions. We support continuous staff development - providing opportunities for learning, development and career development. We believe that a strong organisation is born from knowledge and growth.
