Svensk Fordonsladdning wants to create added value for customers, employees, suppliers and owners, while contributing to sustainable development. We work actively with climate and environmental measures and a strong social commitment. We also uphold good business ethics and strive for long-term and trusting relationships.
Svensk Fordonsladdning's code of conduct contains values for all employees and those acting on behalf of Svensk Fordonsladdning. These principles are translated into requirements for our suppliers in this code of conduct for our suppliers. With an international supplier base, these requirements give us an opportunity to uphold the change we want to see in the world.
This code of conduct requires that our suppliers show respect for human rights, protect diversity and inclusion, protect the environment and follow established policies, guidelines and rules. The requirements describe the minimum standard for our suppliers in addition to applicable laws and regulations and the supplier's own code of conduct. In the event that the requirements differ, the stricter level must always be followed. This Code of Conduct is part of all agreements between the supplier and Svensk Fordonsladdning.
Svensk Fordonsladdning advocates an open dialogue with all our suppliers and works together with them to help them meet our requirements.
