Health & Safety
The Group’s policies on health and safety and well-being of employees, clarifies Scandi Standard’s commitment to ensuring a good work environment, how we promote health at the workplace and ensure compliance with legislation and standards in the area.
Code of Conduct
Scandi Standard’s Group-wide Code of Conduct forms the basis for managing material impacts and associated risks and opportunities relating to our workforce. The Code of Conduct includes respect for human rights, as well as other key areas related to employees’ rights such as discrimination and harassment. The goal is for all staff to complete training in Scandi Standard’s Code of Conduct, including content on non-discrimination practices.
Human rights
Scandi Standard has undertaken to respect human rights across the entire value chain. Working with human rights is an ever-present and ongoing process. In 2024, the first comprehensive human rights risk analysis was conducted, which identified the human rights impacts of Scandi Standard and mapped the most serious risks. Efforts to systematically integrate human rights into a broader plan in operations continue. Human rights impacts are an important pillar in the overall sustainability due diligence process and in Scandi Standard’s risk process.
Working conditions
Scandi Standard has a zero-tolerance approach to occupational accidents and works systematically to prevent risks in both the physical and psychosocial work environment. Sick leave and work-related injuries are monitored at each site and at Group level, with local targets linked to incentives.
The company’s health and safety policy ensures compliance with legislation and promotes a good work environment. While serious accidents are rare, reducing total incidents remains a challenge.
In 2021, Scandi Standard launched a Group-wide improvement program to lower accident frequency through preventive measures, risk management, experience sharing, and enhanced reporting. Transparency, clear KPIs, and strong local ownership are key to this effort.
Equal opportunities
Scandi Standard aims to be an inclusive organization that promotes diversity. Our goal is to leverage the potential of all our employees, promote a creative work culture, reflect our customer groups and secure the skill supply going forward.
Skills and training development
Continuous learning and development are one of several keys to both individual and organizational success. One component of Scandi Standard’s strategy is to develop as a company, which means the entire Group needs to promote a learning culture that provides all employees with the opportunity to grow their skills and share their experiences. This allows everyone in the organization to develop their skills, take responsibility for their development and contribute to the collective success of the company.
