Background
As societies worldwide become more aware of the negative impacts of products’ manufacturing and usage, we are also becoming more cognizant of the importance of companies to lead the way in finding innovative solutions to a number of societal challenges. These challenges may be related to human rights or the environment for example. Saab recognizes that facing these challenges through innovation enables our customers in turn to meet their own challenges and strive toward sustainable operations. We also recognize that contributing to a more sustainable society is essential for us to attract and retain the absolute best talent, so that we can continue to Keep People and Society Safe, our company’s purpose.
Description of the master thesis
