Code of Conduct

With high-level competences, we have made it our speciality to plan and implement large, complex projects within the energy industry, including PtX, which is climate adaptation, environment, energy, as well as renovation and construction of tank facilities to ensure proper storage of liquid energy variations. Both at home and abroad, there are demands for a well-developed infrastructure to replace fossil fuels. This is a prerequisite for the supply of renewable energy, which is a prerequisite for healthy economic development in society. Skanda wants to contribute to this.

Skanda's Code of Conduct applies to all Skanda employees. Compliance is the responsibility of everyone from managers at all levels to the individual employee. Within their area of responsibility, each manager has a duty to ensure that employees and business partners are informed about Skanda's Code of Conduct and the requirement to comply with it.

Skanda's core values

We are professional and business-orientated. We provide specialised competencies and we are able to combine these into total deliveries according to customer needs. We take responsibility for delivering quality with professional pride and high efficiency.

We honour agreements and communicate openly and honestly with a professional attitude. We cooperate loyally, purposefully and constructively to fulfil common goals with customers and business partners. Our work is characterised by commitment, enthusiasm and diligence at all levels. We contribute constructively and creatively to the development of new, better and more economical solutions at all levels.

Environment

When we manufacture, our approach to the environment is based on compliance with applicable legislation and fulfilment of customers' environmental requirements. We recognise that our activities have an impact on our surroundings. We take the environment into account when planning and choosing methods. When handling materials, we avoid waste and overuse.

Fulfilling environmental objectives is the basis for much of our energy infrastructure work. We carry out a range of solutions for environmental improvements, establishing sustainable energy solutions and refurbishing renewable energy storage tank farms.

We will endeavour to procure as environmentally friendly as is operationally justifiable to ensure sustainable development. We will ensure the conservation of resources and increase our competitiveness in the market by minimising our impact on the environment and improving resource management, e.g. by reducing water and electricity consumption, limiting emissions of harmful substances and particles, sorting waste at source, etc. We do not accept breaches of our environmental responsibility that may cause damage to the environment and climate.

Employees

We must respect internationally recognised human rights. We do not use forced labour, slave labour or other forms of involuntary labour in our workplaces. We do not allow any behaviour that restricts the free movement of employees.

We respect the right to freedom of association and we do not tolerate discrimination or harassment against employee representatives or employees who participate or fail to participate in lawful trade union activities. We expect our business partners to also comply with the following:.

Occupational Health and Safety

We are committed to providing a safe and healthy working environment for all our employees, who are heavily involved in development and initiatives.

We prioritise occupational health and safety for Skanda's employees. We do not compromise on the working environment in order to fulfil a task, and we ensure that our employees continuously develop their skills. The manager is responsible for the employees, but everyone is obliged to take responsibility and work together to make improvements and prevent injuries of any kind.

We always act in accordance with applicable competition laws. We do not offer or accept any form of bribery.
