Our responsibility is defined in Lantmännen's Code of Conduct. The code provides guidelines for responsibility in the different special areas that are relevant to Lantmännen's operations, and these are based on the Global Compact's ten principles on human rights, labour, the environment and anti-corruption. For many areas, there are specific policies and guidelines.

These parts are specified in our Supplier Code of Conduct. Compliance with the Code of Conduct is monitored annually by Group management.
Reporting of non-compliances to the Code of Conduct can be done either to a manager or anonymously through an external whistleblowing function.
