Better society

Through our digital products, we ensure reuse of data and near 100% digitization of the data processing chain. “eSignering” and “eTinglysning” are examples of products we deliver that reduce the amount of paper for our customers by digitizing the document flow in the process. In the Land Registry service, paper as a format has been replaced with fully digital solutions. Boligmappa ensures sustainable use of materials and the development of buildings by safeguarding and storing data and documentation and have a guidance model with the intention to prevent undeclared work. Spir Group strives to be at the forefront of environmental protection and takes initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility. We adhere to relevant local and internationally recognized standards, minimize environmental impact, and continuously work to improve our environmental footprint by promoting the development and implementation of eco-friendly technologies.
