The ASSA ABLOY Code of Conduct forms the basis for our actions and behavior and is at the core of the sustainability governance. It applies globally to everyone acting on behalf of ASSA ABLOY – including third-parties and covers areas such as environment, consumer interest and anti-corruption.
The Code of Conduct provides the framework for our daily operations and includes guidelines for business ethics, human rights and labor standards, environmental and health and safety. Our divisions hold the responsibility for implementing the Code of Conduct, while the Board of Directors has the the overall responsibility for identifying and managing existing and emerging risks.
The Code of Conduct Compliance Committee overlooks the process of implementing the Code of Conduct. This includes receiving information from whistle-blowers and ensuring that matters are handled in an appropriate way. The committee includes two members of the Board, and is chaired by the Group Senior Vice President of Human Resources.
