Sustainability at Frost Eiendom

It’s not the minimum requirements of today’s laws and regulations that drive us forward—but the choices we make beyond them, which in the future become the new standard.

The Transparency Act

Sustainability at Frost Eiendom

Together with our employees and partners, we have selected four of the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals to guide our path forward. Our aim is to make choices that not only elevate us but also steer the entire industry toward greater sustainability.

As a residential developer, we care just as much about people as we do about buildings. What we create has significance for the individual living in homes and environments we design, and for the city, which we shape through our developments for many years to come. This is a great responsibility—one we take seriously—and we are genuinely committed to managing it well so that we become a benchmark for others in the industry.

Good Health and Well-Being

SDG 3:
Homes, living environments, and workplaces play a major role in our quality of life. All buildings should be designed to promote both mental and physical health, with strong social gathering spaces and opportunities for physical activity.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

SDG 8:
Frost Eiendom must promote diversity and ensure the well-being of both our own staff and those we contract. For our employees, we strive to be a safe and attractive workplace—one that supports openness, development, and well-being.

We offer more than just a job; here, employees should experience an environment with extra headroom for growth and initiatives that encourage good health. We enable a secure working life with fair working conditions, supporting diversity, and demanding high standards from our collaborators. Frost Eiendom aims to improve industry standards and be one of the leading voices in enhancing the sector’s reputation.

We operate professionally and responsibly in our contribution to sustainable urban development.

Sustainable Cities and Communities

SDG 11:
We adopt a holistic and social perspective on housing and urban environments by developing diverse housing models for people in all life stages. In doing so, we contribute to the city’s inclusivity and holistic development.

Our work shapes the city’s form, and the buildings we erect should be designed based on the best available knowledge about how materials affect the environment and how settlement patterns influence city life.

Climate Action

SDG 13:
Frost Eiendom is committed to supporting Norway’s climate goals by reducing our own carbon emissions and inspiring others to join us in reducing emissions.

The UN’s Sustainable Development Goals Pave the Way

The UN’s SDGs are a key foundation for business-driven sustainable development. In short, sustainability is about leaving our surroundings in a better state than we found them.

It encompasses responsibility across climate, environment, and social domains. To call ourselves sustainable, we must commit to action in all three areas.

The Whole Organization Is Involved

At Frost Eiendom, our entire organization has been involved in selecting which SDGs will guide us and defining what they require of us—both individually and collectively.

There are different frameworks for defining corporate responsibility and our role within it. No one should doubt our commitment to sustainability. That’s why we value transparency about our standards and responsibilities. We don’t just talk about sustainability—we demonstrate it in practice.

You and the City

There are two core dimensions in Frost Eiendom’s sustainability work: people and community. Everything we do must help improve people’s lives and contribute to society’s sustainable development. This is the essence of our work—and why we say: “Good for you. Good for the city.”

This phrase isn’t just a slogan—it’s a guiding principle, deliberately chosen to set a high bar for ourselves and to commit us to act accordingly.

Making Even More Conscious Choices

Frost Eiendom has always been a responsible company. What’s new is the systematic commitment and insight that the UN SDGs have brought into business practices. The values and decisions we previously made will now be more clearly justified and directly tied to our sustainability goals.

At the same time, we must challenge ourselves to be even more deliberate in our future decisions. It’s not just about meeting today’s requirements—it’s about making choices that truly matter—for people, for the city, and for tomorrow. That’s why we say: “Good for you. Good for the city.”
