Our suppliers
Our suppliers are an important part of our business, and a major part of our environmental impact comes from the materials we purchase and use in our products. Therefore, in order to ensure control of our value chain, we promote long-term collaborations with our customers and suppliers. Our Code of Conduct permeates everything we do within our business. We do not tolerate corruption, bribery or other actions that limit or distort sound competition. Our Code of Conduct clarifies the requirements and expectations we have in relation to our suppliers, for example that they show respect for basic human rights and treat their employees fairly and with respect. All suppliers must sign our Code of Conduct or, alternatively, present their own version that equates to ours.
Our products
We continuously strive to improve and develop our products, with the aim of making them smarter and more sustainable. We also work closely with our suppliers to find new ways of utilising materials in the best possible manner. Together with our proprietary products, we focus on making the use of renewable energy sources efficient and profitable.
Packaging
Our paper packaging solutions carry the FSC label, Forest Stewardship Council, which is an independent, international membership organisation that aims to encourage environmentally appropriate, socially beneficial and economically viable use of the world’s forests. We also reduce the use of plastic, and we adapt our packaging to the weight of the product in order to reduce consumption of paper packaging.
LEAN & the 5S method
Our production processes are based on LEAN, with the aim of reducing the use of resources. We are also in the process of implementing the 5S method, aimed at creating improved safety and organisation at our workplaces. The five aspects of the 5S method are:
- Sort
- Set in order
- Shine
- Standardise
- Sustain
