Corporate Social Responsibility
Committed to society
The Corporate Social Responsibility approach of the Rockwool Group reflects the desire to contribute to positive social development as stated in the Group’s Social Charter. A testament to this is the substantial energy and CO2 emission reductions and the safer constructions which are at the core of our insulation solutions. However our ambitions cover all aspects of interaction with global and local society.
Conducting our business according to the Rockwool Group corporate values is the framework within which we conform to modern standards for responsible and reliable business conduct, as well as corporate social responsibility. These Rockwool Group values - honesty, responsibility, efficiency, passion and entrepreneurship - are described further on our corporate website.
The Rockwool Group publishes a full progress report on Corporate Social Responsibility according to the Danish Financial Statements Act, art. 99a. The report gives an overview of the company’s performance within the central areas of human rights, labour standards, environment and anti-corruption. See the link below.
During 2010, the Rockwool Group’s code of conduct for suppliers was added to the standard contract. Throughout the organisation this means that most new contracts will include confirmation that the supplier is living up to our code of conduct. The Group’s code of conduct for suppliers covers all relevant aspects related to compliance with UN Human Rights including precautions against forced labour, child labour, discrimination, employee rights, anti corruption etc.
The Group is increasing its business activities in emerging markets, at the same time strengthening the auditing of suppliers. If business conditions in a country is of special concern, the suppliers under contract with the Group Sourcing and Procurement organisation are being audited twice annually - once by the Group and then by an approved external quality audit company.
