Sustainable business

Ethics and social issues

Because Semcon is a global company it is responsible for ethical and social issues around the world. These issues are becoming more important as the Group grows and establishes on new markets. Semcon’s code of conduct is an important part of internal employee training. The code of conduct summarizes the joint rules and policies that everyone at Semcon must work towards to ensure the best possible relationships with one another, to the company’s business partners, customers, shareholders and those around us. This means, among other things, that all employees must act with social responsibility and within the framework of domestic legislation in all countries where the Group is represented. The Group also works actively to avoid child labour and forced labour and treats everyone equally. Semcon’s best contribution to social and financial development is by running the company professionally and profitably, which makes it possible to create jobs and support its customers. Semcon is also committed to contributing to sustainable development.

Environment and quality

Semcon’s environmental initiatives are integrated into everyday activities. The Group is ISO 14001:2004 certified. A number of central policies are in place to reduce the company’s environmental impact, such as travel and company car policies, where the company is working to cut CO2 emissions as much as possible. As Semcon is a service company its environmental impact is relatively low, which is why the company emphasizes what can be done for customers in this area. By helping customers find energy-efficient solutions and products that have little environmental impact Semcon can help towards reducing the environmental impact. Semcon is also ISO 9001:2000 certified and quality-assurance initiatives permeate the entire business.

Diversity and equality

Semcon actively works to increase diversity and equality in the Group. This occurs naturally because the company has business activities in many countries around the world. A solid foundation is laid in order to form teams that meet customers’ expectations through increased diversity, gender, age and cultural backgrounds.
