Our code of conduct applies to all our employees in all our companies in the Areco Group. Areco has a presence in several different countries, and laws in a country in which we operate may be more far-reaching than the contents of our code of conduct. If this is the case, the laws of the country concerned must take precedence and be followed. Our code of conduct is based on the contents of internationally agreed rules – the ILO’s eight core conventions and the ten principles of the UN Global Compact.
Areco’s vision is to continue to grow and develop, with expanded distribution and stockholding in Sweden. In addition, we plan several factories in Scandinavia, the Baltic states and Germany. We additionally wish to focus on increased sales in northern Europe. The objective in the future is to attain one of the top positions in each of our segments, but at the same time also develop operations in other related industries.
Good and long-term profitability is a key concept for all operations in the Areco Group. A good financial position enables us to contribute in various ways to society and to individuals. A good example is our contributions to sport. Through our commitment we strengthen Areco's brand while contributing to successful teams and emerging talent. Our attitude is that sport has an important role to play for present and future generations, and we are both pleased and proud to sponsor several sports teams. Areco’s success is built on the same foundation as a winning sports team. With a clear vision, focusing on the right things and working as a team, we achieve success.
Diversity is of great value in Areco: a good combination of employees with varied experiences, knowledge and cultures improves the efficiency and quality of the business. Areco’s team is made up of people with great expertise and with experience from different areas, all working according to the same core values and goals.
To enable us as a team to think along new lines, learn new things and continue to develop, we aim to give all employees scope to take responsibility and grow. It is important that every employee feels significant, as their expertise and experience are the key to an organisation that works well. We nurture our young talent: we aim to retain them by giving them opportunities to develop within our company.
Areco has great respect for all its customers, suppliers and employees. Our joint success is based on always treating everyone with great respect, regardless of skin colour, ethnicity, gender, religion, political views, national origin, social background, age, disability or sexual orientation.
