Sustainability

By providing secure IoT connectivity and end-to-end solutions, AddSecure contributes to society’s sustainable transformation.

We live in an increasingly connected world. Our planet already has more devices connected to the Internet than it has people. Internet of Things (IoT) and data has the potential to reshape the way we produce, consume, and live. Benefits will be seen in every single aspect of our lives, ranging from more conscious energy consumption and product, material, and food traceability, to healthier lives and better healthcare. It is the basis for many new products and services, driving productivity and resource efficiency gains across all sectors of the economy.

As sensor-based and internet-connected devices multiply, they will handle even more life- and business-critical applications. This makes it more important than ever to handle communications and data in a secure and sustainable way.

We are a fast-growing company with an ambition to create a safer and smarter world. Sustainability guides us in our daily operations as well as in our innovation and growth strategies. Sustainability inspires us to create profitable smart business in new ways and by new means.

Positive change through secure IoT 

Internet of things (IoT), blockchain and AI are having a transforming impact on economies and societies. At AddSecure we believe in the ability of these new technologies to create a smarter and safer world, and to reach the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).

Using the Agenda 2030, we have mapped out how our solutions contribute to the SDGs today – and to identify areas needing smart and safe solutions for tomorrow.

We see it as our mission to help make the world safer and smarter. By providing secure IoT connectivity and end-to-end solutions, AddSecure has an opportunity and great responsibility to contribute to society’s sustainable transformation.
