Code of Conduct

With the new Code of Conduct, we want to ensure that our suppliers subscribe to environmental, ethical and social concerns at a similar level to ourselves. The acoustic panels are made of sustainable wood and cement and are produced in accordance with strict environmental requirements.

This has been the centre of our attention, and our remaining suppliers have not received the same degree of focus. Troldtekt intends to shift focus to achieve a general and systematic purchasing policy characterised by a high degree of sustainability.

Practical Aspects
To work in a structured manner with supplier management, Troldtekt A/S will now centralise various purchasing functions. In practice, we have divided our 100 largest suppliers into groups and categorised them according to volume of turnover. The ambition is to make an individual assessment of them over a three-year period.

Dialogue is Crucial
Troldtekt A/S categorises suppliers in risk groups according to their strategic importance, and the degree of risk of them contravening the guidelines. Those in the low-risk group will be asked to sign our Code of Conduct. Those in the medium-risk group will furthermore be asked to complete a self evaluation form, while those in the high-risk group will receive a visit from Troldtekt A/S in addition to the above.

As a point of departure, we want to maintain our cooperation with all existing suppliers. In the event that the on-going supplier assessment should turn up a few in the high-risk group, our stance will be that we continue our cooperation and, through dialogue, attempt to sway them towards a heightening of standards.

Troldtekt A/S asks suppliers to sign a Code of Conduct, thereby we commit ourselves to observe the internationally recognised standards with regard to:

• Compulsory labour
• Child labour
• Non-discrimination
• Freedom of association
• The working environment
• Terms of employment
• Health and safety
• Products of the company
• Environmental protection
