Safe workplaces throughout the value chain
As an employer, Synsam also has a responsibility to uphold fair social conditions throughout its entire supply chain. Synsam engages in dialogue with its largest suppliers to ensure good social conditions.
To ensure responsibility throughout the supply chain, Synsam is a member of the Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI). Synsam uses the Amfori BSCI Code of Conduct. It is based on 11 principles that include the prohibition of child labour, forced labour and corruption. The principles also include requirements for safety and reasonable working hours. The Group’s membership in BSCI entails regular inspections at Synsam’s production units in Asia. Full-day inspections were performed by independent auditors during the year to ensure compliance with BSCI’s requirements. No serious deviations were reported in 2024. In addition to the BSCI principles, Synsam also requires all carriers and freight forwarders to have collective agreements for their employees.
