Ethical approach and decent business practices

Ethical approach and decent business practices
INVISIO’s work on ethics and against corruption is of central importance. The company works actively to ensure a high level of confidence among customers, suppliers, employees, partners, shareholders and society in general.

Ethical approach

For INVISIO it is important to be ethical. This is the right thing to do for a responsible company. It also strengthens competitiveness and contributes to high credibility. INVISIO respects the laws and rules that apply in the markets where it operates.

The Code of Conduct describes the basic principles for how managers and employees throughout the organization should act in their daily work and in contacts with customers, suppliers, competitors and other external parties. The corresponding principles are also laid down in the Code of Conduct for suppliers and partners.

Anti-corruption

Zero tolerance applies to all forms of corruption, which includes all offering or accepting of bribes. INVISIO’s Code of Conduct also defines what applies, for example to gifts or in the event of any conflict of interest. In 2021 no cases linked to corruption were reported.

Governance and organization
As a complement to current legislation, the Board and Management of INVISIO have together formulated and adopted a framework that sets out guidelines for how INVISIO is to act as a responsible company and employer.

The framework consists of both internal regulations and guidelines, and adherence to external principles and recommendations.

Some of the most important are presented below.

  • Code of Conduct
    The Code of Conduct establishes common rules for how INVISIO employees are to act towards each other and when representing the company. The guidelines aim to guarantee a safe work environment and equal and fair treatment of all employees. Underlying the Code of Conduct are the ten principles of the UN Global Compact. All employees in the INVISIO Group have a personal responsibility to read, sign and comply with the Code of Conduct. To ensure that this is done, a procedure for follow-up is integrated into the company’s quality management system. Approval is registered in the document management system. INVISIO’s Group Management is responsible for compliance with the Code of Conduct. The guidelines are supplemented by INVISIO’s anti-corruption policy and Code of Conduct for Suppliers, corporate governance rules and a number of internal policies.

  • Code of Conduct for Suppliers
    As part of the company’s methods for accountability in the supplier chain, INVISIO works continually to improve requirements and expectations of suppliers regarding social aspects, ethics, environmental issues and anti-corruption. The company’s Code of Conduct for Suppliers establishes principles for ethical and responsible conduct in accordance with internationally recognized regulations. The requirements of the Code of Conduct include minimum wages, regulated working hours and the prohibition of child labor.

  • Anti-corruption policy
    INVISIO considers all forms of corrupt procedures to be harmful, such as bribes, improper pressure, fraud, money laundering or cartel formation. To ensure that employees and existing partners and customers comply with laws as well as good practice in the area, the company has established an anti-corruption policy.

  • Quality policy
    The quality policy reflects INVISIO’s view of quality and aims to ensure that the company’s products meet customer needs and comply with regulatory requirements. Quality awareness is a central element of INVISIO’s corporate culture and makes its mark on the company’s sustainability work throughout the value chain.

  • Other policy documents
    Apart from the above-mentioned policy documents, INVISIO has produced further documents to support the company’s operations, such as policies to ensure that financial reporting to the capital market is correct and that the company is governed in accordance with applicable laws and ordinances.

Procurement of a whistleblower system
In 2022 an external whistleblower system will be implemented.

The system will enable employees to report anonymously and via a third party any irregularities that are in violation of the law or INVISIO’s Codes of Conduct, values and policies.

The purpose of the function is to ensure that any irregularities come to the attention of INVISIO if communication via the immediate manager or the HR function is for any reason not possible.
