Work System promotes economic inclusion by offering supported employment and meaningful work for people who are far removed from the labor market. We do this both internally and externally through partnerships with day centers, for example. We also outsource production to other parts of the world and ensure fair and safe working conditions through our Code of Conduct. |
|
Although the goal does not directly cover our operations, we contribute indirectly to safer living conditions by locating production in other parts of the world with fair working conditions in accordance with our Code of Conduct (CoC), supporting local community life, and creating jobs. | |
We promote employee health through wellness subsidies, wellness time during working hours, and healthy activities such as the Team Work System. We conduct OSA surveys and participate in Great Place To Work to continuously measure well-being. Through our systematic work environment efforts, we work to prevent ill health and injuries in the workplace. TEAM Work System is an initiative where we participate in races and competitions together. |

We invest in knowledge through WS Academy's internal training programs to strengthen the skills of our own employees and those of our partners. We offer internships, lectures, and school visits. We strive to offer career paths within the company. We want to inspire the next generation and contribute to their development in both education and working life. | |
Everyone is entitled to equal treatment at our company, and we encourage an inclusive work environment. | |
Although this is a goal we cannot influence directly, we contribute to reducing the overall environmental impact through sustainable material choices and responsible chemical management in accordance with legal requirements and risk assessments in the supply chain. | |
We have invested in a 1,000 m² solar cell park and are working with battery storage in collaboration with Jönköping Energi. In addition, we have replaced older lighting with energy-efficient LED lighting. | |
We promote healthy working conditions internally through OSA surveys, including culture and fair wages, and externally through our Code of Conduct, which ensures that production in other parts of the world is carried out in accordance with laws and regulations. | |
Our products are developed to be ergonomic, safe, and effective for our customers. We work with recycled materials and, for example, recycle aluminum together with our suppliers. | |
We promote inclusion through internships, lectures, and support for individuals with special challenges. Internally, we encourage diversity and equal opportunities for all. Through active measures, we continuously review and prevent discrimination. | |
The greatest contribution to safe and sustainable communities is that we develop safe, ergonomic products that increase efficiency for our customers, and by supporting local associations and enthusiasts who create meaningful contexts. | |
We use recycled materials and, in our procurement, we give preference to suppliers and manufacturing methods that minimize their carbon footprint. In our development process, we design products with a long service life and choose materials with a low footprint. We set requirements for our suppliers and have a clear Code of Conduct. | |
We have reduced our emissions by 41% in ten years. We have achieved this by reducing the proportion of materials we use in our products and making smart material choices with a smaller footprint. We work with GHG reporting and set climate requirements both internally and in our supply chain for new developments and procurement. | |
Without having a direct impact, we take responsibility by streamlining material use and investing in circular flows to reduce our impact on the world's ecosystems. | |
We map the country of origin for materials and countries of manufacture in order to identify risks and impacts on ecosystems. This is done as part of our risk analysis. | |
We promote healthy working conditions internally through OSA surveys, including culture and fair wages, and externally through our Code of Conduct, which ensures that production in other parts of the world is carried out in accordance with laws and regulations. | |
We work closely with our suppliers – both in Sweden and globally – and conduct ongoing new procurements, with our suppliers' assessments being an important parameter. Our Code of Conduct, supplier assessments, and incentive models strengthen our shared responsibility for sustainability. |
