Our ethical responsibility
Optimar believes there is a strong correlation between long-term profitability and responsible business practices. This attitude is reflected in the company’s environmental, social and governance (ESG) standards and our ethical guidelines. We support the UN Global Compact’s ten principles on human and labour rights, the environment and anti-corruption, and require the same from our business partners and suppliers

Our ethical guidelines are known by and available to all our employees. They describe key ethical principles to which Optimar is committed and provide basic principles for expected behaviour and business practice. Our whistleblower e-mail is open for both internal and external disclosures, and both are handled with the same discretion.
Human rights and labour standards
We strive to ensure that all our activities worldwide are conducted in accordance with basic human rights. Optimar supports internationally recognized human rights, such as the UN Declaration of Human Rights and the standards promoted by the International Labor Organization (ILO).
Material human rights related to the business are:
ࣽ Freedom of association and collective bargaining.
ࣽ Safe and healthy working environment.
ࣽ Labour standards, including prevention of forced labour, child labour and non-discrimination in employment and occupation.
ࣽ Working conditions (wages, working hours).
ࣽ Freedom of expression.
Anti-corruption
Optimar is vehemently opposed to all forms of corruption and works actively to ensure that this does not occur within the company. Corruption is not tolerated at Optimar, and violations will lead to disciplinary action.
