Policies and sustainability governance
When it comes to sustainability governance, PostNord must observe The Swedish State's ownership policy and guidelines for State-owned companies and the Danish State's ownership principles. These include pursuing a carefully considered and well-established policy, strategy and established strategic targets for sustainable value creation.
External regulations
PostNord’s sustainability efforts are guided by external regulations:
- OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises
- UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights
- UN Global Compact
The Global Compact is, in turn, based on the UN Universal Declaration of Human Rights, the ILO Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work, the Rio Declaration on Environment and Development, and the UN Convention against Corruption. These regulations are reflected in PostNord's Code of Conduct.
Code of Conduct
PostNord’s Code of Conduct has been adopted by the Board of Directors and is the Group’s primary governing document.
It covers the areas of business ethics, employees and working conditions, business partners, coordinated purchasing, community engagement and sponsorship programs, and the environment.
The Code applies to all PostNord employees and there is a separate code of conduct for suppliers.
