Sustainability as part of management
At Fresh Servant, sustainability is integrated into strategic management, risk management and day-to-day decision-making. Our aim is to ensure that sustainability considerations are taken into account in business development, investments and collaboration across the entire value chain.
Clear responsibilities
The implementation of our sustainability work is based on a clear division of responsibilities:
The Board of Directors oversees the progress of sustainability efforts.
Management is responsible for the implementation of sustainability objectives.
The Sustainability Steering Group coordinates development initiatives and reporting.
Ethical principles
Our operations are guided by high ethical standards. The Code of Conduct defines the principles we expect our own employees and business partners to follow. Ethical business practices support responsible business conduct, trusted collaboration, and compliance with laws and regulations.
Whistleblowing channel
We encourage employees and stakeholders to report any suspected misconduct or activities that may violate our operating principles. The whistleblowing channel enables reports to be submitted confidentially.
Transparency and continuous development
We believe in transparent reporting and the continuous development of sustainability. Our first sustainability report prepared in accordance with the VSME Standard describes the current state of our sustainability work, key metrics and main development priorities for the coming years.
