Corporate Responsibility Policy

Fibertex Nonwovens acts in a socially responsible manner in the countries in which the Group operates. This entails that, as a minimum, all companies of the Group must comply with local legislation and obtain the permissions required to lawfully operate the business.

Moreover, Fibertex Nonwovens generally respects the ten principles on human rights, labour standards, the environment and anti-corruption as expressed in the UN Global Compact. However, Fibertex Nonwovens has not formally joined the compact at present.

It is important to Fibertex Nonwovens that the Groups businesses endeavor to comply with the principles on human rights, labour standards and anti-corruption and that they seek assurance on acceptable standards when appointing business partners and suppliers.

Fibertex Nonwovens maintain high standards when it comes to ensuring environmental conditions and limiting environmental risks. In addition, the group addresses environmental conditions from a business criteria aspect with due consideration for the long-term perspectives and the Groups good reputation. 

Fibertex Nonwovens will promote a diverse workplace. We will ensure that our employees can use and develop their skills in the best possible way regardless of gender, ethnicity, religion, political opinion, age, disability, sexual orientation etc. Further, we will work to promote the number of the under-represented gender in our management by creating equal frames and opportunities for all.
