Our values

The Grieg Group companies operate within diversified business segments. This creates great opportunities for synergies and knowledge sharing, but also creates challenges related to information flow and how the Grieg brand is perceived by the public.

The Grieg Group’s values have developed during our long history, and in 2002 the group initiated a shared project with focus on our common values in order to develop and strengthen a sound business culture and the sense of community within the group. In addition to being a common basis for ideas and decisions, the values generate important discussions and serve as a foundation for business ethics and other related issues.

The integrity of our employees and our shared values define the compass by which we navigate when doing business across the world: Open, Solid, Proud and Committed. Over the years, the values have been debated, and interpreted in order to give them a common meaning.
