Efforts with renewables
Arctic is committed to continuous development and improvement. We think long-term both in terms of knowledge and financial resources.
As part of our engagement in the renewable energy sector, Arctic owns 35.7% of the shares in Cleanworld AS, one of Europe’s largest brokers of renewable energy certificates. Cleanworld is a leader in broking green certificates, including Guarantees of Origin.
The market is growing rapidly and spreading to new products and areas, driven by increased requirements for the production and consumption of renewable energy in Europe and the rest of the world.
Arctic also owns 12.48% of the shares in research company Veyt AS, a specialist in analysis and data on the green certificate market. With Cleanworld and Veyt in the Arctic Group, we aim to build a position as the leading center of expertise for broking, research and corporate services within renewable energy.
