The underlying principle of the Code of Conduct is that we always do the right thing. If any team member is not sure what the right course of action is in any given situation, they should ask someone who knows.

To accommodate our diverse and international workforce, our Code of Conduct is available in every language our employees speak and read, and it applies to every employee who belongs to any company in the Holmbergs Group. This includes all direct and indirect subsidiaries. Board members, managers and employees are all required to read and abide by the Code of Conduct. By having all our employees and partners comply with our code, we can feel confident that our business is conducted professionally, honestly and ethically.

We also share our Code of Conduct with our largest suppliers and require them to sign it to confirm that our suppliers support, respect and prioritize the values our code promotes.

Holmbergs has internal processes for all employees to report suspected legal or regular infringements, without repercussions, should they witness any. All employees within the Holmbergs Group are encouraged to report actions they perceive to be serious misconduct to the position appointed by the company. Reporting can also be done anonymously. Reported violations are expected to be handled in a prompt and thorough manner with the goal being a satisfactory solution with reasonable measures taken.
