Our social responsibility
Our social responsibility
Norske Backer was established in 1969 in Kongsvinger, and since then has gone from mass production heating elements for tailor-made heating solutions. We have grown to become the leader the manufacturer of electric heating solutions in Norway. Our products are based on the use of electricity, rather than fossil energy sources.
We have a few selected values that stand strong in the business, which are our “codes of conduct”. These values are:
Respect for human rights
Responsible purchasing
Good working conditions
Product liability
Reduced environmental impacts
Social obligation
Good business ethics
Transparency
Students wanted
Norske Backer welcomes students from the college and students from upper secondary school here to carry out internships and/or placements. We also take on apprentices both in the office and in production.
Sponsor
We sponsor the organizations that ask for sponsorship. If the organization is larger, they will also receive more sponsorship from us. We contribute to the local community through, among other things, sponsoring sports via KIL.
Our goal
Norske Backer has a goal to help other businesses with the transition from using
heating solutions with fossil energy sources, to use electricity-based heating solutions. We do this through our new service Backer Switch.
We have developed a sustainability plan that will function as a work plan for our work with
sustainable development. In the plan, we have drawn up our own sustainability targets that we want to achieve by 2028, which will help to achieve the goals of the UN’s sustainability plan
