We are a trusted advisor with decades of experience that provide perspective and knowledge. Two qualities we put to good use. By answering their questions, we help customers to see new opportunities and to overcome any obstacle.

Total dependability

We are totally dependable. Whatever the assignment, you can rely on us. When we give our word, we keep it. We’re responsible for our actions, and accountable for the things we commit to.

Openness of spirit

We have an open spirit. Progress happens when you say yes where others say no. We don’t shy away from new queries or daunting challenges. We trust on our capabilities and processes to make it happen.

We are flexible. Every project has its surprises. We are able to shift quickly, turning our experience and built-up instinct into sensible solutions to unforeseen challenges.

Agidens is committed to ethical entrepreneurship and condemns all forms of discrimination, intimidation and violence in the workplace, and in its relationships and other activities. Respect for individual values and rights form the basis of our relationships with clients, employees and other stakeholders. We strive for equal opportunities and equal treatment for all our employees.

Corporate social responsibility

Agidens strives for an open, constructive dialogue with local authorities, social partners and all other groups involved with our activities. Where possible we support local initiatives on a social, cultural and economic level.

We ensure our employees work in safe, hygienic and healthy surroundings. We aim to give all employees a good balance between their work and private lives.

Ecological entrepreneurship

We want to minimize our impact on the environment and CO₂ emissions by using an ecological and energy efficient infrastructure, processes and products, and by including these values in our range of products and services.
