Arom-dekor's Code of Conduct
Arom-dekor's Code of Conduct, together with our values, forms the basis of how we conduct our business and shows both ourselves and the wider world what can be expected of us. We describe obligations, laws and requirements that guide us when we face ethical dilemmas and help us make good decisions.
|
Arom-dekor Kemi AB's Code of Conduct is based on our values and the principles concerning human rights, labour rights, the environment and anti-corruption in the UN Global Compact's ten principles and their underlying conventions, declarations and guidelines. The Code of Conduct aims to ensure that our suppliers* have safe working conditions, that employees are respected and treated with dignity, and that manufacturing processes take both the external and internal environment into account. *Suppliers refers to all suppliers and participants in the value chain. |
We require compliance with the Code of Conduct
Arom-dekor requires all suppliers and workers to work in accordance with the principles of the Code of Conduct and to comply with all applicable laws and regulations. Regardless of position or role, we must all contribute to Arom-dekor's long-term success. Our managers have a responsibility to lead by example and to ensure that their teams adopt our Code of Conduct.
Employees at Arom-dekor must raise concerns when they suspect something that conflicts with our Code of Conduct or legislation. Employees should first report to their immediate manager, but if this is not appropriate, they can also report their suspicions anonymously through Arom-dekor's whistleblowing system.
If an employee chooses not to follow the Code, this may lead to disciplinary action, including the risk of dismissal or legal action. If a supplier is responsible for serious breaches or repeatedly shows an unwillingness to make improvements, this may jeopardise the supplier's business relationship with Arom-dekor, and action may be taken.
