Sustainability & the Global Goals
The Global Goals · Goal 9

Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure

Water, district heating and power grids are society’s bloodstream. Meters are the infrastructure’s receipt — and we have kept them reliable since 1983.

The Global Goals, Goal 9: Industry, Innovation and Infrastructure
How we contribute

In daily operations — not in a policy on a shelf

A national measurement resource — Our volume customers are often municipal water and heating utilities whose customer billing relies on readings we assure. Accredited inspection body and calibration laboratory under one roof — separated in line with the accreditation’s impartiality requirements.
Upgrade instead of replace — Replaceable measuring inserts, meters with over-the-air software updates and refurbishment in our own workshop extend the life of infrastructure already in the ground and in buildings.
Open systems — no lock-in — Our data collection system OneViewer is brand-independent and handles open standards such as M-Bus and OMS. Infrastructure must be able to evolve for decades — not be locked to one supplier.
Real technical capacity — Three computer-controlled test benches, DN 1.5–200, measurement uncertainty from ±0.15 per cent. We lecture regularly on measurement technology and are engaged as advisers — the knowledge does not stay in the lab.
Targets

Targets we contribute to

Every Global Goal has concrete targets. These are the ones our work affects — quoted from the UN 2030 Agenda (see globalgoals.org).

9.1Develop sustainable, resilient and inclusive infrastructures

”Develop quality, reliable, sustainable and resilient infrastructure, including regional and transborder infrastructure, to support economic development and human well-being, with a focus on affordable and equitable access for all.” — target 9.1, UN 2030 Agenda

Our contribution: Reliable measurement data is part of infrastructure quality. We assure it for the water and energy sectors across Sweden — impartially and under accreditation, for public and private principals on equal terms.

9.4Upgrade all industries and infrastructures for sustainability

”By 2030, upgrade infrastructure and retrofit industries to make them sustainable, with increased resource-use efficiency and greater adoption of clean and environmentally sound technologies and industrial processes.” — target 9.4, UN 2030 Agenda

Our contribution: Refurbishment, replaceable inserts and updatable meters mean existing infrastructure is upgraded rather than replaced — lower resource consumption for the same, or better, function.
