S - Social informaton

As a manufacturing group with around 20,500 employees, around 13,000 of which work in production, our own workforce is very important to NIBE. We assess that we have significant impact on our employees, primarily in terms of health and safety, adequate wages, diversity and opportunities for training and skills development.

Our goal is for all our employees to thrive, develop and feel committed to their work and their place of work. Our ambition is to ensure that we as a company are perceived as an attractive employer offering numerous opportunities for development. 

 

Health and safety

Our long-term aim is that NIBE should be a safe workplace with no accidents or ill health. This ambition guides us in our daily work and strategy in the form of a systematic approach involving risk assessments, safety inspections, accident reporting, emergency contingency plans and action plans. The risk of accidents and work-related injuries particularly applies to employees who work in or adjacent to production.

 

Adequate wages

We seek to offer our employees competitive wages in relation to geographical region and productivity. 



Diversity

We conduct an international business with significant cultural and social differences, and so it is important for us to have a framework for both diversity and equal treatment. Everyone should have the same development, training and career opportunities, and no one should be discriminated against. Our strategy means that employees should receive equal pay for work of equal value and skill and that the company should strive for gender equality. We operate in a relatively male-dominated industry, which means that we need to make an effort to recruit more women to the organization.

 

Human rights

Parts of NIBE’s operations are located in countries where there is an increased risk of child labor. These countries are Mexico, Turkey, China and Vietnam. Those countries and Malysia, Thailand and the USA also have an increased risk of forced labor. NIBE takes these risks seriously, but our strong values, preventive work and controls.
