Human rights and good working conditions

Respect for human rights and good working conditions is integrated throughout our business. This commitment covers both our own operations and the conditions within our value chain. To support this work, we have an Occupational Health and Safety Policy and a Code of Conduct.

Within Arvid Nordquist

The work environment shall be designed with consideration for the individual and their circumstances and needs.

Individuals shall be given opportunities to participate in and influence the design and adaptation of their own workplace and working environment.

The work tasks at Arvid Nordquist shall, as far as possible, be interesting and stimulating.

Employees shall have sufficient knowledge and be offered the training necessary to perform their work safely.

We promote a healthy lifestyle by offering training during working hours, lunch subsidies, and wellness grants.

In our value chain

Arvid Nordquist’s code of conduct is based on Amfori BSCI and is part of our supplier control process. It applies to all our business partners and their subcontractors. Read our Code of Conduct.

We have a process in place to identify, prevent, and minimize negative impacts on human rights and unsustainable working conditions.

Production in countries with a high risk of human rights violations and unfair working conditions is best managed through third-party audits. Read more about this in relation to the product portfolio in our sustainability report.

For our Norwegian portfolio, which is subject to Norwegian legislation (Åpenhetsloven), the risk assessment is published on our website in Norway.
