Corporate Responsibility

Helping school children navigate in the digital world

NNIT is a founding partner of the Coding Class initiative in Denmark, which aims to open children’s eyes to the endless opportunities of technology so that they gain a better understanding of the digital world surrounding us.
We collaborate with Coding Class by giving school children an assignment that they have to solve using digital tools and coding.
To mention a few examples, the children invented games to help us exercise more during our workday and to help us sort trash and reduce water and food waste.

Ensuring IT talent development

Our Corporate Vice President Kristine Stenhuus is on the Board of the IT University
of Denmark (ITU). The Board is responsible for securing ITU’s interests as a leading institution of education and research within IT in Denmark.
Our CEO Per Kogut is Chairman of the Board of Digital Hub, whose purpose it is to attract top international talent, customers, and capital to accelerate growth in the Danish digital ecosphere.

Improving student morale about STEM-educations

NNIT is part of the technological alliance of "Engineer the Future",  where NNIT experts volunteer to teach young students about scientific educations. Through the program, our digital and technical experts show students the potential of working in fields such as Cybersecurity, IT in healthcare, VR and more.
Our experts volunteer by showing up and presenting their knowledge to students, as well as answering whatever curiosities they may have about the fields of technology and IT.

Increasing diversity and minimizing the gender gap

We are firm believers in equal rights and opportunities, and we believe that a diverse team performs better and thrives more. Our Diversity Policy serves to increase diversity at all levels across NNIT. In 2020, we reviewed our people policies regarding gender neutrality to ensure equality between all genders (e.g. in relation to parental leave).

We also analyzed the gender salary gap at NNIT in Denmark. In 2020, the pay gap
between women and men was less than 10%, and we will continue the work to
minimize gender salary gaps on both a local and global scale.

Improving our own infrastructure

We have chargers for electric cars placed at our HQ parking lot, and we are currently working to change our company cars to electric cars.

Innovative solutions

We help our customers lower their CO2 emissions, for example through our Augmented Reality/Virtual Reality services, which we accelerated in 2020. We offer a number of solutions in this area, including virtual meetings, faster assistance
from experts with no transportation and training simulations.

Our data centers run on green energy

NNIT owns two data centers and rents a third. Data centers are critical to the future
infrastructure of society, enabling digitization and effective utilization of data.
NNIT purchases 100% green energy for all our Danish locations, which means that our energy comes from either wind or hydro power. Furthermore, our own data centers are very energy efficient, ranking well under the European average Power Usage Effectiveness level (1.6), which results in lower energy consumption.

We are working on a solution in which the surplus energy generated from our data centers can be used for heating in the local community.

Lowering our CO2 emissions

In 2020, we began measuring our CO2 emissions on a global scale, with the intention of lowering them in 2021 and on beyond. This work is extensive, but we find it necessary.
