Policies and obligations

The Danfoss Group has policies governing issues concerning work environment, the environment and social responsibility as well as a Code of Conduct for suppliers, including rules of social and environmental responsibility.
Furthermore, Danfoss has joined several national and international initiatives which promote sustainable development, social responsibility and climate improvements. The obligations also include the United Nations Global Compact’s ten principles, which form the basis of Danfoss’ promotion of human rights, labour rights, anti-corruption and the environment. Read more in the next section, Global initiatives.  

In 2008, Danfoss published the Ethics Handbook which was distributed to every Danfoss employee. The Ethics Handbook sets guidelines for all of the employees to comply with and it is divided into three main sections: conditions relating to the employees, customers/suppliers and the community. In addition to including the ten principles of Global Compact, the Ethics Handbook also covers the areas which have been ”unwritten rules” and which have existed implicitly in the Danfoss culture.

Corporate Citizenship

Danfoss’ overall goal within Corporate Citizenship is "keeping our own house in order".
This applies to employees, so that they have an attractive workplace and a healthy work-ing environment. It applies to the environment, where Danfoss products contribute to energy savings, and where the environmental impact of their production is constantly being reduced.
And it applies, in a broad sense, to social and ethical responsibility.
Efforts are continually being intensified, because when employee satisfaction is high, consumption of resources is as low as possible, and the company’s ethics and reputation are good, the result is a positive effect on the accounting bottom line.
