These documents are based on international conventions, standards, and legislation, and are aligned with the UN Global Compact’s ten principles for sustainable development. The Codes of Conduct provide guidelines for Stendörren’s work for human rights, labor conditions, environmental responsibility, and anti-corruption.
All new employees receive an introduction to the company’s policies and manuals as part of the onboarding process. All employees annually confirm that they have read and understood the content of all policies. In the event of material changes to policies or other governing documents, training sessions are conducted to ensure that all employees are up to date.
