OUR FOCUS: PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFITABILITY SAFETY IN BIG PICTURE
Our commitment to sustainable development is divided into three focus areas. Each of the focus areas and all together have an impact on our sustainability work. We have several Seveso-classified production sites and stations around the Nordic region – and we work systematically to minimise the risk of accidents and to create a safer workplace. Forcit has and will pay special attention to ammonium nitrate storing and handling facilities. Our HSEQ team is making regular controls to ensure compliance to our strict standards. We have also been focusing on further developing our overall approach to risk assessments through education and the harmonisation of methods and procedures. Seveso practices set the demands for chemical storages and warehouses depending on the capacity. For example, emergency drills are executed regularly to enhance our overall capability to act in the right way in case of e.g. a chemical hazard, and to cooperate with neighbourhood and rescue departments. SAFETY PRACTICES
cusing on being effective in carrying out first corrective actions to reported safety deviations (ForSafe report). Furthermore, we have implemented robust internal safety rounds to audit our procedures. In 2020 we carried out in total 53 internal safety audits. A number we want to increase especially when physical presence will ease up with improving covid circumstances. Our sustainability function also has an important role in spreading information and good practices when it comes to safety. All near misses have been investigated in detail and corrective actions done. 2020 was a very different year in many aspects and required significant resilience to run operations as normal under abnormal circumstances. Covid regulations changed the world and work – and it changed how we work at Forcit as well. Forcit got a unique opportunity to adjust ways of working also related to safety during extraordinary times, and how to overall ensure the continuity of our operations during a crisis, this time in the form of a global pandemic. We created and updated almost one hundred work instructions and risk evaluations.
Our target is to ensure each employee will come home from work at good health each day every day. Generally, we succeeded in our operation and had We have a strong focus on health and safety, which a chance to continue recruiting new employees and is also reflected in our main “lagging safety KPI” investing in new business, and thus created work LTIF. When it comes to leading indicators, we are fo-
for our suppliers and partners as well. Naturally, our emissions from travelling and commuting were reduced. There was high activity in the field of cybercrime around the world in 2020, and at the same time people were forced to remote working. Forcit deployed two-factor authentication to O365 and Windows environments, which means that logins require second confirmation via mobile phone. Email monitoring and filtering system was installed to stop the most advanced email threats, aiming at protecting employees from the full range of threats targeting the inbox and more. CODE OF CONDUCT
Our policy is to conduct all our business in an honest and ethical way, as well as to implement transparency and traceability in business operations and practices. Forcit is committed to observing and respecting all universal human rights as defined in the United Nations (UN) Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other international human rights agreements and to promote the realisation of the universal human rights. The code of conduct is important to follow in Forcit generally, but especially important for the Defence business unit and all their business transactions and relationships.
