The Sustainable Development Goals
The World Goals for Sustainable Development consist of 17 goals and must, by 2030, set the course for more sustainable development - economically, socially and environmentally.
Tusass works with sustainability based on a business-driven principle. We have identified 4 SDGs as the primary to our contribution, where we create a real difference for society while also creating value for our business.
The Sustainable Development Goals
As a member of the UN Global Compact, Tusass is committed to taking responsibility for the 10 principles that are based on internationally recognized conventions on human rights, labour rights, environment, and anti-corruption. Tusass is also a member of CSR Greenland and Transparency International Greenland, who also work to promote the responsibility agenda in Greenland.
The Digital Education Boost
The Digital Education Boost
A path to development and learning
We focus on supporting the development of children and young people through projects in a digital perspective and strengthen the next generation with creative competencies in an increasingly digital world. Children and young people must not only be super users of the digital solutions, they must be creative and innovative with technology that is absolutely central to the development of society.
Tusass secures the connections that bring Greenland into the digital age. It creates a common value in society and for Tusass´ business activities in an increasingly digitalized future.
Tusass is currently working on the following projects within the digital education boost:
Coding Class
Tusass offers all 8th graders a teaching course that is about students learning to code creative games. The students will be strengthened in design processes and coding, through analysis of issues, innovation, collaboration and presentation techniques.
We have two teachers with strong competencies within innovation, technology and creative competencies in children and young people.
For more information about our Coding Class teaching course, contact Team Leader for Coding Class, Tanja Christensen at tanja@tusass.gl
Coding Class Championship
Tusass organized its first Coding Class Championship for the classes that have been taught in Coding Class courses in 2021. Johannes Blidstrand from Qaqortoq won the Coding Class Championship in Greenland, as well as the ‘Code Prize’ at the Virtual Coding Class final in Denmark.
Coding in Children's Sparetime
In collaboration with Coding Pirates Denmark, we provide the opportunity for children and young people to come and code and be creative with technology in their spare time.
For more information about our Coding Pirates events, contact Team Leader for Coding Class, Tanja Christensen at tanja@tusass.gl
Technology Understanding for Teacher Students
In collaboration with the Department of Learning and the Center for Teaching Aids at the Future Classroom Lab, we contribute to a pilot module that will in future develop a class on technology understanding at Ilinniarfissuaq, which strengthens future teachers to be able to teach based on technology understanding.
Climate and Enviroment
We work every day to ensure the best opportunities for the Greenlandic business community and all citizens, regardless of where in the country they live. It is a huge challenge in a country like Greenland with relatively few customers, very long distances and extreme weather conditions. We have to use significant amounts of energy to secure the connections of telecommunication, and therefore one of our most important focus areas is to achieve even greater use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind energy.
– CEO, Kristian Reinert Davidsen
It is Tusass' ambition to use sustainable energy as the primary energy source, if that makes sense, both environmentally and in a business sense. There is therefore an ongoing focus on developing, testing and testing new methods so that we can increase the proportion of renewable energy on our sites. Energy consumption is a regular part of our considerations when selecting new technology. In parallel with the projects, we must have found the best method for reporting on climate and the environment.
