Corporate Social Responsibility
It is of utmost importance to us that we conduct our business with integrity, honesty and openness. We are concerned not only with results but with how those results are achieved.
Code of Conduct
We have a ‘Code of conduct’ at Skanem. This is a commitment to conduct ourselves and our business in a way that completely complies with rules and regulations. We follow the rules in the code of conduct to operate and make decisions for some of the most important business areas.
Health, security and environment
We ensure that we conduct our business in a way that is safe and protective to people, the environment, society and property.
People and labour standards
We respect local working environment regulations and rules pertaining to wages, hours and working conditions. We do not use forced labour or use raw materials or finished goods produced by forced labour.
Financial integrity and company records
We must ensure that all transactions are properly recorded, classified and summarized in accordance with applicable laws and regulations.
Confidentiality
If we have a legal obligation with respect to confidential information from customers, we will never use or disclose that information in a dishonest way.
Bribery and corruption
Skanem does not give or receive bribes or other improper advantages for business or financial gain, directly or indirectly.
Supply chain responsibility
We expect our suppliers to adhere to the principles of responsible companies and have their own Code of Conduct or similar. We expect our suppliers to sign Skanem’s Supplier Code of Conduct.
