Governance regarding sustainability matters is embedded in Elanders’ Board of Directors and Group Management. Ownership and agency to drive measures within the material areas are embedded in Elanders’ organization in order to ensure adjustments to the various operations’ priorities. Aspects connected to compliance are integrated in Elanders’ central governance framework.
Sustainability – Corporate governance
Elanders has a whistleblower function where all stakeholders can report any violations of laws or regulations in Elanders or its value chain, for example in IT security, data confidentiality, environmental crime, corruption, human rights, discrimination or financial fraud. The person reporting is guaranteed anonymity and complete confidentiality.
To ensure that a sustainability perspective permeates governance of all subsidiaries and that they take the necessary steps within the prioritized areas, Elanders has three joint Group councils in addition to group management. These are People & Culture Council, Environment & Climate Council and IT Council. The members of these councils are relevant representatives of the subsidiaries as well as Group staff. The councils normally meet quarterly.
Elanders’ Code of Conduct and Anti- Corruption Policy
Elanders’ Code of Conduct comprises all employees, the Board of Directors and other people who act on behalf of Elanders. It stipulates the principles for actions and behavior in Elanders’ business and value chain. The principles support the OECD guidelines for multinational companies and the UN Global Compact.
