"Committed to making a difference"
Sustainability
In today’s and tomorrow’s world we strive to create values that people benefit from. As a global division, we’re aware of our enormous responsibility to the society and the environment in which we live and work.
What impact this has on the way we act is explained in the
foreword by our Executive Vice President Marc Richard Deimling.
The way we conduct our business across the world is rooted in all three dimensions of sustainability:
Environmental dimension
We are constantly working to develop and improve our products in order to incorporate sustainability into all our product lines and processes. Part of these products contain sustainable raw materials. We improve our internal processes on an ongoing basis, investigate ways of preventing and reducing waste and liaise with partners along our downstream and upstream supply chain to provide pioneering solutions.
Social dimension
Our employees are key to the success of our company. Their health and safety are paramount. In our sites around the globe, this aspect enjoys high priority and is vital to good business practices that ensure efficient and sustainable business processes inside the company and across all interfaces. Forbo is committed to fair treatment of all employees and strives to uphold internationally recognized standards of fairness, honesty and integrity. We work closely with existing suppliers and develop new suppliers to decrease considerable risks to people and the planet. In addition, we strive to make a positive contribution to the well-being of society and the local communities in which our company operates.
Governance framework
A strong commercial base is vital when developing a sustainable organization. Our goal is to deliver consistently on innovations and optimize the design, service level, performance, range and quality of our portfolio for all stakeholders. In pursuit of this objetive, we will act responsibly and within our guidelines on corporate governance, risk and crisis management and our Code of Conduct. At any time, we respect local and international laws and regulations.
