Our Strategic Direction

NCC’s core competency is to manage the complexity of the construction process to achieve a positive end result for all stakeholders. This is the point of departure for the Group’s strategic focus and our Group-wide operating model.
Our work is based on a number of strategic initiatives that enable us to gain strength from being a large Nordic company with a breadth of operating areas. We combine the competencies, experience and expertise of a major company with local presence and decision-making power.

Our Core is construction

Every generation has a responsibility to maintain and develop its shared infrastructure to create opportunities today and for the future. Construction, maintenance and development projects are initiated by our customers or by NCC. NCC’s purpose is to utilize our expertise and competencies as the basis for taking the customer through the construction process in order to create a positive end result for all stakeholders.

Our Operating Model

NCC is a knowledge-based company whose core is the ability to manage the complexity of a construction process. Our operations include commercial property development, building and infrastructure project contracting, and asphalt and stone materials production. We need to be experts in the various aspects of the process, but we must also have the ability to get them to work together.
NCC is currently pursuing development initiatives in the areas of skills development, digitization and an increased utilization of expertise and data from all parts of the company.

Star behaviours

To continue implementing the change we want to attain, high employee engagement is also essential, as are shared core values and a shared culture. The corporate culture is based on shared values and behaviors, and is also a cornerstone in NCC’s strategic focus.
During 2021, we worked on implementing our Star behaviors among employees. About three quarters of the employees participated in workshops and we integrated the Star behaviors into our HR processes, which will contribute to driving improvements and changes.
