Sound business ethics and well-defined principles for compliance are the core of Arjo’s long-term business relations. Arjo does business across the globe and has a broad network of suppliers and business partners. We place the same high demands on them as our business, with zero tolerance for all forms of corruption, fraud and bribery. Arjo is committed to the principles of UN Global Compact, including human and labor rights, environmental topics and anti-corruption.
Code of Conduct
Arjo’s Code of Conduct is grounded in internationally recognized principles and addresses areas such as anti-corruption, fair competition, human rights and work environment responsibility. It applies to all employees, and regular training is conducted to ensure awareness and compliance across the organization.
Business Partner Code of Conduct
Arjo’s suppliers and other business partners are required to adhere to the same principles as our employees and to comply with our Business Partner Code of Conduct. These requirements are grounded in internationally recognized frameworks and the Code is a part of standard contracts for distributors and suppliers alike.
Business conduct training
At Arjo, continuous employee training is a key part of our ethical business practices. All employees in managerial roles, as well as those who regularly interact with business partners, are required to complete at least one anti-corruption training session each year. This ensures a consistent understanding of Arjo’s ethical standards and helps foster a culture of integrity across the organization.
Supplier audit program
Arjo has implemented a sustainability audit program to assess suppliers based on environmental, social and governance (ESG) criteria. The program focuses on worker-related aspects, including fair wages, safe working conditions, diversity and inclusion, and human rights. Through the program, Arjo aims to ensure that suppliers align with our ethical business conduct and responsible labor practices.
