Danfoss’ overriding goal within Corporate Citizenship is to "keep our own house in order".
For employees, this means they have an attractive workplace and a healthy working environment. Regarding the environment, this means Danfoss products contribute to energy savings, and the environmental impact of their production is constantly being reduced.
Danfoss joined the UN Global Compact in 2002. Read more about Global Compact under the section Global initiatives.
Good corporate citizenship requires that efforts are made in a wide range of areas. At Danfoss, the work is divided into five areas, which are dealt with in detail under separate sections:
- Labour Practices, which deals with the conditions of Danfoss’ employees and a decent work environment
- Society, which deals with the close link to the local communities where Danfoss operates
- Human Rights, which represents a wide spectrum of initiatives to ensure a healthy and good environment for human beings
- Environment, which means that Danfoss focuses on the production having the least possible impact on the environment
- Climate, in which Danfoss, via the development of environmentally friendly technologies, supports the work to improve the global climate.
Each item contains examples of Danfoss’ efforts. Please refer to the Corporate Citizenship reports for the overall performance and results.
Global Reporting Initiative (GRI)
The five main themes of GRI (human rights, society impact, labour practices, environment and product responsibility) form the basis of the contents of the Corporate Citizenship report and an extensive table of the GRI indicators which Danfoss has chosen to report.
Danfoss applies G3 guidelines from the Global Reporting Initiative to structure the reporting efforts relating to social and environmental issues.
