Values
IVA is a non-profit, non-partisan academy that aims to promote Sweden's competitiveness and sustainable development. Our sustainability work is therefore a high priority. By taking a stand on important societal issues based on a scientific foundation, the projects "Attractiveness for sustainable growth" and "Resource-attractive business models" have produced reports that contribute to and influence discussion and knowledge dissemination.
IVA's new strategy focuses on four areas: World-class knowledge, Business of the future, Climate-Resources-Energy and People-Technology-Society. It is within these areas that IVA will tackle the many important questions that require answers to solve societal challenges.
Our core values, which underpin the whole IVA including the Conference Centre, are as follows:
Quality - Courage - Integrity
These core values are complemented by the conference centre's own selected values.
At IVA Conference Centre, we work to ensure that the following words are always present in our activities:
Service - Safety - Functionality - Accessibility
Business concept
"By being an accessible, functional and safe meeting place with great personal service, for everyone who needs a place to meet, we want IVA Conference Centre to be the obvious choice in central Stockholm"
Vision
Our dream is to share our passion: combining classic hospitality with modern spaces that surprise.
Our purchases
Members of the Nordic Ecolabelling network
The Nordic Ecolabelling Network for Responsible Purchasing is an organisation for companies that want support in their purchasing work. Nordic Ecolabelling aims to prioritise ecolabelled goods and services and make them an integral part of all purchasing processes.
As we are a conference centre that does not have its own kitchen, we cannot be classified according to the Nordic Ecolabel criteria.
