10 Danish companies signed the Nordic Built Charter at an event in Copenhagen 1 October, including C.F. Møller. The Nordic Built Charter serves as values for Nordic construction.
The Nordic Built Charter commits the companies to follow the philosophy of sustainable, energy efficient solutions in future buildings.
The Nordic Built collaboration was initiated by the ministries in the five Nordic Countries and has been developed in cooperation between the Nordic Council and a number of Nordic companies.
The Nordic Built Charter is developed to express the foundation, potential and ambitions of the joint Nordic building sector. It states a commitment to create a built environment that:

building on the best of the Nordic design tradition
6. Is robust, durable, flexible and timeless - built to last
7. Primarily utilizes local resources and is adapted to
local conditions
8. Is produced and maintained through partnerships founded on transparent collaboration across borders and disciplines
9. Employs concepts that are scalable and used globally
10. Profits people, business and the environment
