Kongsberg Group

Additional Details

The Kongsberg Group is considered a major contributor to the production of sensitive military equipment for the Israeli army, contributing to the production of components for F-35 fighter jets, parts for missile launchers, and the production chain for Spike guided missiles. The company faces widespread human rights criticism in Australia and Norway, where it holds a 50% Finnish stake in the munitions company Nammo AS. This criticism stems from the fact that Nammo munitions have been sold and used in the Gaza Genocide, in addition to Kongsberg's role as part of the "global network for F-35 production." Student and academic protests have taken place at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) due to the university's continued research partnership with Kongsberg, despite the company's "unethical involvement in human rights violations" through its contribution to the production of aircraft used to bomb civilians. -- Listed on OSE (KOG), Kongsberg Group is backed by leading sovereign wealth funds, most notably NBIM.
