All employees are allowed freedom of assembly and participation in workers’ organisations. Occupational health and safety (OHS) We enforce the implementation of OHS policies and procedures to ensure a safe working environment for all our employees as a top priority. We provide personal protective equipment to employees where required, as well as striving to improve the safety of our employees through continuous improvement efforts and implementing preventive measures. We also support the implementation of employees’ ideas related to the improvement of working conditions where applicable. Anti-corruption and bribery We have zero tolerance for corruption and bribery. We train our own employees to follow the guidelines stated in our “Anti-corruption Policies and Procedures” document. We also work with our external suppliers to use reasonable efforts and promote compliance with our anti-corruption policies internally and with their sub-suppliers.

We want to develop our business and people in a sustainable way that would benefit society and the environment in the long term. We will seek partners who will adhere to the same ethical standards and values as us.
