Responsible business management

All our suppliers and business partners must sign an agreement on responsible business conduct.

Suppliers who want to participate in a competition for a contract with SLH must commit to comply with our principles of responsible business conduct. The principles reflect SLH’s ethical guidelines. We demand that international human rights are respected and that our contracting parties do not contribute to violations of these. The contracting party must also ensure that the workers’ wages satisfy the requirements for the minimum wage, that working hours are in accordance with applicable national law, that the workers have the opportunity for adequate rest and that employment contracts are written in a language the worker understands.

SLH shall have in place appropriate routines to promote respect for fundamental human rights in procurements where there is a risk of violation of such rights. This is included in SLH’s Corporate Governance documents.

SLH contributes to common efforts for transparency, integrity and responsibility to prevent corruption and fraud both nationally and internationally. Furthermore, we undertake to practice zero tolerance for all forms of corruption in SLH and to put in place suitable measures against corruption.
