We are committed to making sustainable choices in all aspects of our operations, such as heating, waste, transportation, and maintenance. We actively work to reduce resource consumption on the property and our environmental impact.
All suppliers must have a clear environmental profile and be able to document their environmental work. In the Research Park, tenants can easily scale their office spaces, thus preventing resource-intensive renovations and moving processes. We also facilitate the reuse of furniture and equipment and initiate small and large environmental and sustainability projects.
Our environmental policy consists of four points, based on continuous improvement:
Forskningsparken is operated by Oslotech AS.
1. Oslotech will seek and adopt new and improved resource-saving technology for heating, cooling, and operation of our buildings. We aim to reduce our energy consumption and be among the leaders in energy efficiency.
2. Oslotech will reduce the amount of waste and ensure that waste is sorted at the source so that the resources in the waste are utilized to the best possible extent.
3. Oslotech will choose environmentally friendly transportation and products for the operation of our buildings. Our preferred suppliers should have a clear environmental profile and be able to document their environmental work.
4. Oslotech will continuously improve our own and tenants' knowledge of sustainable and resource-saving solutions – and through open dialogue with society and other knowledge environments – ensure that others benefit from this knowledge."

The initiative to replace the grass lawns surrounding Oslo Science Park with flower meadows started in the summer of 2023. This will benefit the area's biological diversity and provide an insect sanctuary. Now, the children at Forskningsparken Montessori kindergarten are working on their own accommodation for small critters.

Behind partially closed doors on the ground floor of Oslo Science Park, you'll find a maze of copper pipes, flasks, test tubes, nozzles, meters, and hoses. Here, researchers from the University of Oslo's Centre for Materials Science and Nanotechnology (SMN) work. Among other things, they are trying to find solutions to our need for sustainable energy.
