Who does the Code of Conduct apply to?

The Code of Conduct applies to all our employees and all our business partners. Suppliers will be included via contractual provisions.

Legal compliance

The Code of Conduct does not replace legislation and if any part of it is in conflict, then legislation takes precedence. Situations may occur for which there are no specific guidelines. In such cases, conduct should be in the spirit of the Code of Conduct.

Seeking guidance and whistle-blowing

If an employee is concerned about something, or wishes to make a complaint or report a violation, the line manager, a representative of the local management or the local person responsible of Code of Conduct issues should be informed. If an employee finds it difficult to bring up an issue locally ASSA ABLOY Head Office should be contacted. The form provided in Appendix I can be used. An employee’s information will be treated confidentially, and no employee will be discriminated against for reporting, in good faith, violations of the Code of Conduct.

Implementation and monitoring

ASSA ABLOY monitors the implementation of the Code of Conduct. Violations will be handled immediately.
