It is true that our mission is to seal the world. It is also true that all of us within the Roxtec family make a strong team and that we together can do more for a safer world.
The Roxtec Code of Conduct clarifies our position regarding ethical and environmental issues, and we require that all managers, employees, partners and suppliers involved in business operations under the Roxtec brand respect and follow the Code.
We also encourage all parties to take on an even bigger responsibility than required by law. The Code is based on trust, honesty and respect and it is summarized in the ten statements in this leaflet.
Our general rule is that all parties shall comply with national laws, industry standards and requirements as well as with the Roxtec Code of Conduct.
When addressing the same issue, the directive that is most favorable to workers shall apply. We may consider cultural differences, but never compromise on safety and human rights. Neither do we tolerate bribes in any business relations. Note that our requirements may not be limited to the requirements of the national law.
Roxtec International AB is certified according to the ISO 14001 standard. All partners, including suppliers, must therefore meet communicated environmental demands.
