Gasta has been certified as an Eco-Lighthouse

Digital marketer Ingvild and designer Hilde received the plaque from the mayor of Sogndal, Arnstein Menes, on February 17.

We are now finally an Eco-Lighthouse! This means that we already meet strict requirements and that we are committed to going even greener in the future.

The joy came in mid-December 2021 - certification as an Eco-Lighthouse was in place! And we received the actual plaque from Mayor Arnstein Menes at the municipal council on February 17.

The certification shows that we work systematically with the environment and do what we can within our industry.

In his statement, the mayor said that Gasta has worked well with the certification, and we were particularly praised for having developed good systems for HSE, safety rounds and activity plans.

And it's worth mentioning that he smiled a little when he read that bicycles are being used for meetings in Sogndal - something that "is very positive". "It's actually true that several of us have whizzed down the Sogndal valley on two wheels on our way to meetings with customers!

A proper process

Designer Hilde Nes and Assistant Agency Manager Astri Knudsen are the people who have been at the forefront of the environmental certification work at Gasta. They tell us about their extensive and instructive work:

We've had a proper process and been thorough, so it's clear that it's taken some time. But it's been fun too! We've learned a lot along the way, and we're proud to finally be able to call ourselves an Eco-Lighthouse," says Hilde.

Benefit your customers

Being an Eco-Lighthouse means, among other things, that our customers can rest assured that we take the environment seriously, that we have good procedures in place and that we are committed to working to become even better.

For many people, it's important to choose suppliers and partners who are certified. It was about time we also documented our efforts - this will benefit both our customers and ourselves. Now we make more environmentally friendly choices and understand better what our customers are working on when they want to increase their focus on sustainability," says Astri.

We look forward to continuing on the road to green transformation!
