About

GRID-Arendal is a non-profit environmental organisation dedicated to driving systemic change for both people and planet. With 35 years of experience, we transform scientific knowledge into compelling narratives and actionable insights to address the triple planetary crisis of climate change, biodiversity loss, and pollution.


Our vision is a healthy and equitable planet, where people respect each other and live in harmony with nature. Our mission involves transforming science into stories that resonate, providing critical knowledge, and building capacity to enhance resilience in communities and ecosystems.


We collaborate closely with UNEP, the Norwegian government, and a global network of partners, serving as a trusted intermediary between science and policy-making. Our transformative approach challenges conventional paradigms, fostering innovation, co-creation, and shared learning to inspire impactful action.


By prioritising equitable, evidence-based decision-making and nurturing a deeper human-nature connection, GRID-Arendal strives to catalyse meaningful, lasting transformations towards sustainability.

Miljøfyrtårn (Eco-Lighthouse certification)

GRID-Arendal chooses Miljøfyrtårn certification for enhanced environmental responsibility. Since 2009, GRID-Arendal has been Miljøfyrtårn certified, a strategic move to enhance our environmental sustainability efforts.


Originating in 2003, Miljøfyrtårn is a foundation providing a robust and trusted framework for environmental management. All certified companies undergo recertification every three years through an independent third-party review, ensuring ongoing consumer compliance and reliability. This process underscores a company’s systematic approach to environmental management within its industry.


Miljøfyrtårn certification requires organisations to meet criteria that promote positive environmental impacts. These criteria address how a business's operations, products, and services affect climate, environment, and workplace conditions. Emphasising direct and indirect impacts through the value chain, the certification covers themes common to many industries, such as waste and reuse, energy, procurement, transport, biodiversity and land use, workplace environment, and governance.


By choosing Miljøfyrtårn certification, GRID-Arendal demonstrates its commitment to rigorous environmental standards and continuous improvement, fostering a sustainable future through responsible business practices.
