Locally, in many places, Swedwood is a very significant employer and as such we have a responsibility as a neighbour, citizen and member of the local society. It goes without saying that we promote diversity, have a fair and open workplace and treat all co-workers with respect. Co-workers have the right to organise and join labour unions and we disapprove of any discrimination.

Our contribution to positive social development reaches beyond our co-workers. Every new plant that Swedwood sets up means export income, new technology and, jobs and growth often in places with a high unemployment rate. In this way, we are contributing to social development. We are involved in social issues, frequently with a local approach sponsoring child care, schools, sports and leisure activities and events and, much more. We also support a number of global initiatives.
