Our projects revolve around how production and supply chains actually work in practice – and how they can be improved. We collaborate with companies, public organisations and international partners on concrete challenges related to sustainability, working conditions and digitalisation.
Many of the projects are based on real cases and close collaboration, often across sectors and countries.
Below you can explore a selection of ongoing and completed projects.
