For generations, we’ve taken a down-to-earth, forward-looking attitude. Because accountability has always been part of our company culture, we support the United Nations Global Compact, an initiative which contains ten principles on human rights, working conditions, the environment and anti-corruption. We want our suppliers and collaborative partners to apply the same principles. All this is regulated in our code of conduct.
Sustainability efforts are among the essentials for good business operations in the long term. Accordingly, we take sustainable development into consideration for investments, acquisitions, relationships with customers and suppliers, and when developing products together with the customer.
In 2015, UN member states adopted 17 global goals to achieve socially, economically and environmentally sustainable development in the world by 2030. We have assessed it as possible that we can contribute within five of the 17 global goals in Agenda 2030. Read more about our commitments in each area in our Sustainability Report.
We show respect for the environment through the efficient use of resources, working systematically on environmental issues and certification under ISO 14001 environmental management system requirements.
