BUSINESS ETHICS
— IN PRACTICE
STEFFCA conducts business with integrity, responsibility
and transparency. Our policies and guidelines help ensure
that responsible business practices are embedded across
the organisation and translated into action in everyday
work.
Code of conduct and employee handbook
All new employees are introduced to STEFFCA’s values,
policies and guidelines through our employee handbook.
It sets the framework for how we work and interact with
each other, with a focus on respect, equality, good communication and professional conduct. It also describes
how employees can handle and report concerns.
Climate and environmental policy
Our climate and environmental policy sets out the principles for our work with energy consumption, carbon footprint, resource use and continuous improvements.
The policy forms the basis for our work to reduce the
environmental impact of our operations and supports the
speci昀椀c initiatives described in this report.
Employee rights, development and working environment
We work to ensure high standards for the working environment as well as human and labour rights. Our efforts
are based on, among other things, the ILO’s fundamental
principles, the UN Global Compact and the UN Guiding
Principles on Business and Human Rights.
Our policies cover health and safety, diversity, equal treatment, onboarding and competence development. Employees must have the opportunity for relevant training and
professional development throughout their employment.
Our work with safety is supported by our occupational
health and safety organisation, AMO, risk assessments,
training, personal protective equipment and emergency
response plans. The aim is to prevent workplace accidents
and ensure a healthy and safe working environment.
Information management and IT security
We work systematically to protect the data of the company and our business partners. Our policy sets out
guidelines for access rights, con昀椀dential information, use
of IT systems, and the handling and reporting of security
breaches.
Whistleblower scheme
Employees and business partners can use STEFFCA’s
whistleblower scheme to report serious concerns or irregularities con昀椀dentially.
The scheme helps ensure that potential breaches of legislation, internal guidelines or ethical standards are handled
responsibly, and that reports can be made without negative consequences.
Anti-corruption and bribery
STEFFCA has zero tolerance for corruption, bribery and
other unethical conduct. Our policy describes the requirements and expectations that apply to employees and
business partners and helps ensure that decisions are
made on an ethical and transparent basis.
Responsible procurement
Our procurement policy and Supplier Code of Conduct
describe the requirements for responsible conduct in the
value chain.
The requirements cover working conditions, environmental
considerations, applicable legislation and business ethics,
among other things, and contribute to greater transparency in our collaboration with suppliers.
