Sustainably Evolving the Company

Sustainably Evolving
the Company

ILF is aware of the impor­tance of its employees for the company’s sustainable develo­pment. From the very start, ILF has promoted creative thinking amongst its staff, and encou­rages employees to closely cooperate with various R&D insti­tu­tions, and regularly parti­cipate in training activities and conferences.

The promotion of such creativity and networking fosters the formu­lation of smart and innovative solutions, the provision of which forms a pivotal part of the Sustaina­bility Policy of the ILF Group, which outlines ILF’s commitment amongst others to:

• reducing the company’s carbon footprint
• reducing the company’s energy consumption
• minimizing the company’s waste production

This policy is however only the starting point of ILF’s endeavors to embed sustaina­bility into its organiz­a­tional culture. An effort is also being made to enhance the life quality of employees, and enable them to make their own personal contri­bution to improving the quality of life worldwide.

Through respon­sible management and a range of training programs offered by the ILF Academy, staff are able to develop both profes­sio­nally and perso­nally at all stages in their career. The ILF Inter­na­tional Trainee Program additio­nally offers young engineers the possi­bility to gain inter­na­tional profes­sional experience whilst developing their inter­cul­tural competence.

To facilitate the develo­pment and sustainable evolution of the company, coordi­nation of the company’s priorities with the SDGs, and definition of SDG imple­men­tation strategies, is a conti­nuous process at ILF. Currently, the following SDGs are integrated into ILF’s corporate culture:
