We are certified with the health & safety standard ISO 45001 to have a well-established and systematic method to prevent and manage risks and accidents.
Good to work with
One of our core values is to be Good to work with – both externally and internally. Our Code of Ethics is a guideline for ethical sound behavior for all employees. It is an extension of our core values, a simple map to what the company expects from us in various contexts of our everyday work.
To ensure that our employees comply with our values and policies, there is a group-wide whistleblower service, managed by an external party. We urge all employees and partners to tell us about any actions that go against what we stand for as a company – it creates security and helps us achieve a good corporate culture.

Sustainable customer offer
We put our pride in offering safe products and services to meet the customers´ quality expectations and to improve their sustainability performance.
