Our more open world starts with our people
Our core values and beliefs
We are proud of the broad diversity of perspectives and ways of thinking that run throughout our organization, uniting more than 64,000 colleagues across over 70 countries. Together with our culture and strong leadership, we will continue to be a global leader, where people can build a career that enables them to realize their potential.
Our values and beliefs are part of our identity:
- Empowerment – We have trust in people
- Innovation – We have the courage to change
- Integrity – We stand up for what is right
Our focus on culture and safety
Our vision is to create an injury-free workplace. We believe this is achievable by maintaining proactive health and safety policies and processes, and by continuously strengthening the safety culture that underpins everything we do.
Making the world a safer and more open place means starting with our people. Building and nurturing diverse teams is essential, not only because it’s the right thing to do, but because it fuels creativity, innovation, and smarter decision making across our organization.
Our Code of Conduct is our behavior blueprint
We expect all our people, from junior interns to our CEO, to follow it. It extends to contractors, and we also have a version especially for our suppliers. Our policies and principles are based on rigorous global standards, and we publish our code on our website to hold ourselves accountable to it.
Together we are making work safer every day
We have a wide-ranging health and safety policy that includes training, preventing injuries and looking out for ourselves and each other. We have already held workshops with 30,000 of our people to help them learn more about managing risks and taking both individual and collective responsibility for working safely. The next phase of workshops, called “Together we are safe” will launch soon.
We are building and nurturing more diverse teams
We want people from all kinds of backgrounds to work for ASSA ABLOY. So we set specific objectives to make sure we recruit widely and give people the right opportunities to succeed.
We encourage and work towards a workplace where people of all races, ethnicities, and nationalities feel welcome at work as their authentic selves. Where our teams include all ages, genders, sexual orientations and religions, and our colleagues with disabilities have safe and equal access. We see, and want our people to see, that differences in education, personalities, skill sets, experiences, and knowledge bases are an advantage. We have already made progress in making our workplace more inclusive, but we also know there is more work to do.
