The company and employer perspective
We support the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, which contain recommendations on employment, human rights, the environment, the disclosure of information and other areas of responsible business conduct.
Health, working environment and safety
We follow the laws and regulations within the countries where we are active. Health, working environment and safety are important components for us as an employer. We have a good health program and a strong focus on security and safety for all employees. As described in an earlier section of this report, we continuously assess our working environment through an annual employee survey and our Investor Business Principles (Our Map) serve as a guide for all employees to ensure that we apply a high ethical standard when conducting business.
Environmental responsibility
Our direct impact on the climate is very limited with headquarters in Stockholm and a small number of offices in other parts of the world. However, we are aware that we have an indirect impact on the climate through our holdings. Our environmental policy strives to minimize environmental impact through the conservative use of resources, recycling and other measures. We started to measure and report our climate footprints at our Stockholm facilities in 2007. The results from the emissions measurements were reported as part of the CDP, and we have increased our awareness of climaterelated risks and opportunities.
Good Citizen Responsibility
We use our sponsor activities as a way to combine business-related involvement with a good citizen perspective. The areas we prioritize are youth, education and entrepreneurship.
