Ethics

Ethical guidelines

Norlandia makes an important contribution to society by performing welfare services. Our ethical guidelines emphasize that everyone involved - employees, managers and directors - complies to our common ethical standard.

Our ethical guidelines are revised and updated at least once a year. In this way we can included experiences underways as well as new, relevant issues within this area.

The main topics of our policies are twofold - business and organizational ethics as one and values and ethics as the other. The former deals with the general ethical aspects of business as such and for the employee as part of the organization, while the latter should clarify Norlandia's values in specific circumstances that the employee should be aware of.

In Norlandia we want to continuously improve the quality of our services. In this context, to pursue an openness in everyday life where constructive criticism and voices of concern are to be accepted.

Whistleblowing

All employees in Norlandia are therefore encouraged to notify their superiors or officers of the company in the case of unacceptable conditions. Relatives and others who have a realtion to Norlandia are requested to notify their contact person or the general manager of the relevant unit. Leaders and representatives of Norlandia should treat people who report unacceptable conditions in a proper manner and in good faith. Unfounded or weakly founded claims about business or about colleagues should not be submitted.

If the unacceptable conditions reported by an employee applies to the employees  superiors, it shall be reported to the level over this person. Management and union representatives have a particular responsibility to ensure that whistleblowers are not subjected to negative reactions.

Whistleblowing is to speak out about conditions in the business of a serious and reprehensible nature. This means violations of law or clearly communicated internal rules. Examples of this could be corruption, danger to life and health, sexual harassment, misappropriation of funds, or bullying in the workplace.

Whistleblowing will be followed up on responsible and prudent manner with the purpose to clarify fact and clean up where there actually are unacceptable circumstances. In this way, all parties will come out of the situation for the better.
