Responsible purchasing

Responsible Purchasing

Setting requirements when we purchase goods and services is a powerful tool to protect people and the environment. Therefore, responsible purchasing is an important part of our sustainability work. We want to maintain a high ethical standard in all purchases and ensure that we have responsible suppliers. All suppliers are required to adhere to our ethical guidelines for suppliers. These cover areas such as human rights, labor rights, the environment, and business ethics.
