Sustainability ReportOur Sustainability Wheel
In 2020, we conducted a pre study regarding sustainability. Central to our investigations are our values and Code of Conduct, which emphasise the importance of respecting and following the UN’s 10 principles on human rights, labour law, the environment and anti-corruption.
As part of the pre study, an analysis of the current situation was also made, this was based on the UN Global Compact´s ten principles. Through the analysis five focus areas were identified. These areas now form the basis for our future strategic sustainability work and set goals.
Our five focus areas are linked to the UN’s global goals.
Our values are the foundation of our sustainability work and guide us in our decisions and how we work. They create security and make us focus on issues that are important to us.
In 2015, the UN adopted a new agenda to steer towards sustainable development before the year 2030; this led to the creation of 17 Global goals. The business community has a crucial role in the work of achieving the goals. Sundström identified five goals that are more significant and important for our business and strategic direction.
Everyone can contribute to attaining these goals, but Sundström Safety’s emphasis is on the following.

At the core of our business are these three values: Openness, Clarity and Respect. They permeate the workplace and communication throughout the organization and are closely linked to our sustainability work.
